Local Histories on WUNC

WUNC, aka local NPR station in Chapel Hill, aired a piece on Local Histories where elin O'hara slavick and Cici Stevens were interviewed about the show.  I wasn't mentioned by name or anything, but hey, as far as I'm concerned my dream of being on NPR has been fulfilled.  check one off the bucket list!

here is the link:

yeah, i'm sick of the birds too, these are the last of them, promise

Here are the pictures of the installation I made for the Artery; it was something really different for me to work three dimensionally, and I must say I liked it.  I will definitely plan some future projects that will hang from the ceiling.  The idea for the installation was to communicate in an abstract way the feeling of walking in Audubon Park in the late afternoon, hence the birds floating around, the water print and the leafy patterns.  That being said, I definitely would do somethings differently next time around.  Did I mention that I learned how to use a sewing machine last week so that I could sew these suckers?

alaina helped me to hang two of the three from the 

balcony in hanes art center,sure does look like they

 belong there.  they are 15 feet tall

from outside

atmospheric/calming

installed in the artery for the opening, the bottom is 

rolled under to compensate for the shorter space, 

although I love the black, unfinished ceiling, 

perfect for hanging installations

this is a close up of the printing; the printing is made up of water, birds and textile patterns.  the fact that people could walk in between them is the best part about them, plus people seem to really like the soft ambient glow they give off

*again, thank you so much alaina, juliet, natalia, natalie, alicia and beth for helping me*

dth article - yeah, i'm famous

The Daily Tarheel ran an article about the Artery show that opened Friday and mentioned my work, as well as Josephine McCrann's sweet paper crane installation. Its great to see the art community get some acknowledgment in such a widely read on campus newspaper. I think they made my work sound a little bit angsty, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, and they were super positive in general. The article is entitled "The Artery's 'REFRESH' an Impressive Show of Student Work."

Ok, well maybe that doesn't make me famous quite yet. I'll hold off creating a publications section on my resume until I have a few more entries.

I'll have pictures up of the show ASAP.

REFRESH @ The Artery!!

This is the flyer for the artery opening this Friday. I think they did a really nice job, I need to find out whose work this is on it.... but, yeah, I love it. Please come out and see student artists' work (including mine).
