My art critic Pepper Ann 🐕🦺 bored by my 2022 collection: Nucleation Invitation.
I piled all my pieces together because I wanted to see how absurd that many lights would be together 🤣 it's so pretty in person.
Nucleation is the beginning of changing disorder into self-organization. Invitation is about setting intentions and letting go of control over outcomes.
How can we welcome, witness, and accept the shifting internal disorder of ourselves and others?
5 finished pieces. 1 digital I need to print and add lights to... and my biggest piece, this giant frame that I have a long way to go on.
The elements on the frame piece are going to convert to 3D, sorta like a popup card! It's got broken mirror pieces and tiles (not added yet) courtesy of my friend who's hand was on my ass (Jeff).
I'm applying to art grants and shows! I'm also working on an art website. 🤠🎨
Ps one time in grad school I used reaction diffusion equations (a la Alan Turing, my gay autistic math hero) to model crystal nucleation.. except the formulas in the paper I was using weren't derived correctly 😅 So I had to write my final for that class on the problems with the formulas instead of being able to finish the code for the modeling. 😆
