dandelion wine

After drinking the most delicious wine I'd ever had when Caylin Janet brought a bottle of her homemade hibiscus wine to our apartment a couple of years ago and recently seeing Jamie Carestio's barrels of dandelion wine fermenting, I've been inspired to make wine, an endeavor with hopes of a serious hobby.

hot and postmodern

I had the words "hot + modern" shaved into my head freshman year of college, two words that had been attributed to me in a particular circumstance that I then co-opted, albeit with a kind of casual tongue rubbing against my cheek. Recent discussions of art and postmodernism and new media and identity have prompted, more as a kind of afterthought, the decision to formally change this hidden tattoo to "hot and postmodern," as it seems entirely more fitting.
Matt Katz would certainly think so.

Boy/Girl

Jake and I collaborated for the first time on a series of ceramic cups. Essentially he threw and glazed porcelain cups and I made decals for them, about 40 en total.
For the decals I scanned images and made collages with other digital imagery, and once they were printed I collaged with the collages on the cup surfaces. Each cup is different, but if we continue this project I think we will do limited series, i.e. 10 of a particular cup form & collage.
We go by the name Boy/Girl for collaborative projects.


At Hot Dog Day in Alfred we asked individuals to pose with their newly purchased cups and here are those photos. I'll be posting fancier documentation in the art gallery soon.
image

As for images, I was working with a lot of different ideas. One approach was to make super personalized cups, in a totally aesthetic, pop culture kind of way where I collaged musicians, artists or icons that specific individuals (friends/lovers/myself) really "like" (visceral/aesthetic/trendy/beautiful/nostalgic/hot) with the result being these objects of desire, treating the making like fashion.
This cup I made specifically for Patrick Ritt, with Mary from the band High Places and Nico.

image

The entire decal is out of the scope of the photograph, but this collage consists of a unicorn, M.I.A. and a film still of Leonardo Dicaprio in Romeo+Juliet.

The First Meeting

I tried to find a grown-up looking shirt but couldn’t find one- not one that I wanted. A button down was trying too hard and my new insistence on open (preferably v cut) necks was a limiting factor for my closet. I was going for power- literal comfort in materials and style but also in terms of what I projected. A dress was high on the list but “dress” often reads as “fancy” often reads as “effort.” Effortless grace and poise was apparently what I wanted to project. Well fitting jeans always make me feel powerful- in their simple, subtly, incredibly unassuming way, but what on top? Something too youthful or loud and I would feel inferior to the four men on my committee. But if I showed up late the whole attempt was for not. A blazer was the answer, which worked because it was chilly and went well over my soft black sleeveless and scoop necked top. The blazer is permanently adorned with a ceramic nipple pin on the breast pocket, too. Clearly this was the right choice.

But when I arrived I didn’t have my lawyerly yellow note pad- my empowering companion, the marker of a serious researcher. Nor a pen. NO pen. But my confidence was not derailed; I simply adjusted to the less than ideal circumstances. At least I had a mechanical pencil and the handmade notebook marked another identifier: artist.

Ten minutes into the conversation, however, I took out a stack of 4 (though I brought 6) books and placed them on the table. It was quite amusing. They made me feel more comfortable, more authentic, more committed. They never moved. They just sat their passively, like little knights on my chess board. I don’t know how to play chess.

Tom asked me at the end of the hour how I thought the meeting went. I smiled. Of course it went well. I have a committee of intelligent, charming people with a variety of backgrounds, and I am an intelligent hardworking person and everyone seems just as excited about this thesis as I am.

where is Layla?

Layla is traveling in Japan and Italy this summer, so her website is still under construction/conception. Some images are posted in the art gallery if you are interested, but organization and editing is still needed, as is an entire year's work which has yet to make it to the gallery.

Layla's secretary is curiously m.i.a. so she may not get back to inquiries promptly.

Peace and love.

Where is Layla?

My website is under construction/conception. Please direct all inquiries to my email account and my secretary (who surprisingly looks an awful lot like me) will get back to you.
