artist statement: sugar
Annex Gallery, Winnipeg, Manitoba November 2005 SUGAR is a multi-phased, interdisciplinary project installation about disturbed adolescent girls. The project was conducted in four phases.
Phase I Collection of Text Phase II Writing of Text by teenage girls on the sidewalks in the neighbourhood. By allowing the girls to speak for themselves in public through the use of private written text, it exposed both their vulnerability and their strength. Phase III Video Footage of the writing of text and of the girls mouths speaking the text was used to create a short video. Phase IV Creation of Artefacts Mono prints were pulled from the written text. The text reversed in the process indicative of the adolescent experience. At times the mono prints sustain an effect, which is reminiscent of tears. I made work about disturbed adolescent girls because I am disturbed by their experience |
