Functional Resilience <div><br /></div><div>Throughout history, peace has been a scarce commodity in any human civilization, and war seems to be a dominant theme. Destruction is one of the prevailing outcomes of these wars. Having lived in war-torn Lebanon for half of my life, I have seen a lot of destruction and damage that has been imposed on beautiful architecture. It takes months, even years, to design, build and finish a building, yet it takes less than a second to bring it crumbling down with a powerful bomb. Nevertheless, with all the damage the Lebanese architecture sustained, these buildings still function as vessels for human life. They kept us safe, sheltered us, housed us, and shielded us. Seeing the decimation of these structures has caused me to crave perfection, and I grew attracted to the clean lines and curves of modern architecture, which I pursue in my work.
Influenced by the vernacular of architecture and building materials, I have constructed structures that double as vessels. These vessels are distilled representations of war-torn buildings, whose functional resilience comes from the stable and strong material used, cement. This truth, coupled with my inquisitive nature, has brought me to create innovative processes and methods in which my work is created. The simplicity of the forms and lines allow the shot/damaged parts on the vessels to be highlighted and accentuated. By bridging the aesthetics and the materials within my work, I ask the viewer to form a connection to their surroundings, realizing that there is no perfection, only an adaptation to our current status and situation. </div><div><br /></div><div>Personal Bio </div><div>Born in war torn Lebanon and moved to the United States in 1998, Michael Nashef has earned his M.F.A in Metals/Jewelry Design from Bowling Green State University.

She is fascinated by the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death – and the complexity of the processes that govern life between one place and the next. Using specific sites as her medium, she expands the conceptual meaning and purpose of the object, and play with the audience’s understanding of place. Relevant to the site from which materials have been excavated, each object is a representation of the specific correlations between time, location, perception, and importance; each carrying the history of the site captured within. Her works are distant memories embodied, and histories waiting to be told.</div><div><br /></div><div>See more about Motoko <a href="https://motokofuruhashi.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a></div><div>See more about how to register for the 43rd Yuma Art Symposium <a href="http://www.yumaartsymposium.memberlodge.org/page-102916">HERE</a></div><div><br /></div><div>See you in YUUUUMMMAAA!!!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445591016224045736.post-33482178024023897712022-01-27T16:16:00.001-08:002022-01-27T16:16:54.988-08:00Linda Christensen - Yuma Art Symposium 2022 Presenter I have been inspired by emotion for many years. It has been the driving force as my subject matter. It is challenging and allusive and oftentimes frustrating.
To prepare for my day in the studio, I create an environment that keeps me engaged and in the room! I put on old black and white movies, I keep my day open ended, I work on the under-painting for a very long time and I use photos of family members and shared memories. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgEKCnScvYe3yHyOv14g_QQzz3GZXmKYH8NX9QMT3eo5Q4cS0lQsqSngKN1oa11mMCG4WPB_f-p3Uer2-s_peBVozxO64_QfJ5lg7sJ6CZ61Cqa9Ildo1uW-FyTl1LZnvekI9dTYifMVMmsaJA5G7my-Uru4LN5bPlBnKzi0dRwS7syukYjjBiAoGbP=s2000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgEKCnScvYe3yHyOv14g_QQzz3GZXmKYH8NX9QMT3eo5Q4cS0lQsqSngKN1oa11mMCG4WPB_f-p3Uer2-s_peBVozxO64_QfJ5lg7sJ6CZ61Cqa9Ildo1uW-FyTl1LZnvekI9dTYifMVMmsaJA5G7my-Uru4LN5bPlBnKzi0dRwS7syukYjjBiAoGbP=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aspire, Oil on Canvas, 24 x 24 in </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJvbkUzrjcwmo37uVC_VYYU5pXaIeW-K2-nLWnDyc_ldzwB1GAP-C909U2iMir7-euh3aVOwv3wHEpMUu9cqySVR9HyjeKb3yyNMY6zRo0vHB9t0yngPdnqEUjZqy-WU5BPyOlAPgR8y2Q9J7Il21G2O8tByyO0T103sphnAMk6exXudoYwm9lKazT=s2000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1497" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJvbkUzrjcwmo37uVC_VYYU5pXaIeW-K2-nLWnDyc_ldzwB1GAP-C909U2iMir7-euh3aVOwv3wHEpMUu9cqySVR9HyjeKb3yyNMY6zRo0vHB9t0yngPdnqEUjZqy-WU5BPyOlAPgR8y2Q9J7Il21G2O8tByyO0T103sphnAMk6exXudoYwm9lKazT=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Writer, Oil on Canvas, 48 x 36 in </div><div><br /></div><div>The threads that weave their way through the work are pattern, line, abstraction and the figure.

Through this tactile exchange, visitors’ interactions with the pieces would actually complete the installations. The exhibition consists of two new bodies of work: the large, mysterious, chrysalis-like ‘Hanging Pods’ and the moveable, stackable, wearable surrealist forms of the ‘Holdables.’ After more than two years of work and the help of nearly 70 community volunteers we had created and installed 56 new sculptures in the museum’s two galleries. The show had been up for two weeks out of an expected six-month-long-run, and already over 500 visitors had indulged the curiosity, contemplation, and play elicited by the work. It was two weeks into January, 2020.</div><div><br /></div><div><i style="text-align: center;">Below: Visitors interact with felted wool ‘Hanging Pod’ sculptures and industrial felt ‘Holdables’ at the InTouch exhibition, pre-pandemic.</i></div><div><i style="text-align: center;"><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjZO81BCmqxmAnz1XLo7GJ8fYIa8gQXKP8qlnkol0_zRdr1er-lxriRENib7vzQK_D8g7rur29rr_Seu_RBR3i-14WmCop0454jrYQUuoJqezl5dCu1bXlIoBLgh_W4z4jNEpMSPaHMtgnz2lqPsECgwNouZzJWMZf43R-_plCVWBUiRaX8IELFPlX=s864" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjZO81BCmqxmAnz1XLo7GJ8fYIa8gQXKP8qlnkol0_zRdr1er-lxriRENib7vzQK_D8g7rur29rr_Seu_RBR3i-14WmCop0454jrYQUuoJqezl5dCu1bXlIoBLgh_W4z4jNEpMSPaHMtgnz2lqPsECgwNouZzJWMZf43R-_plCVWBUiRaX8IELFPlX=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3UcD7AXRBVQMxlcNKU4HSIYsQX_Ll7wXwfuOa5TM4CxIMHhsVAYddSr19AIm6yFaL7E-7pk1VTBXPsG1N7LIAqpiX6tw2vq14AqB2Z9L08lEHwKRc8potd4XvNnGicGAiA9wkwR8qoeFPf8gmhwhLGqPauqnTDkGSGtCkubQXpIKexgkFLM-zyEgQ=s864" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3UcD7AXRBVQMxlcNKU4HSIYsQX_Ll7wXwfuOa5TM4CxIMHhsVAYddSr19AIm6yFaL7E-7pk1VTBXPsG1N7LIAqpiX6tw2vq14AqB2Z9L08lEHwKRc8potd4XvNnGicGAiA9wkwR8qoeFPf8gmhwhLGqPauqnTDkGSGtCkubQXpIKexgkFLM-zyEgQ=s864" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3UcD7AXRBVQMxlcNKU4HSIYsQX_Ll7wXwfuOa5TM4CxIMHhsVAYddSr19AIm6yFaL7E-7pk1VTBXPsG1N7LIAqpiX6tw2vq14AqB2Z9L08lEHwKRc8potd4XvNnGicGAiA9wkwR8qoeFPf8gmhwhLGqPauqnTDkGSGtCkubQXpIKexgkFLM-zyEgQ=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Six weeks later, COVID-19 came onto the scene. Of all the suffering and heartache resulting from the new pandemic reality, the early closure of my touchable art exhibit was a bearable disappointment. And yet it was a big disappointment for me-- and all those who helped me bring it into existence. As the artwork lingered in the darkened, shuttered museum, I began compiling the photos and video I’d been recording and gathering throughout the process. Instead of delivering an artist’s talk to a live audience, I set about creating a documentary about the project, from its conception through its fabrication, installation, and its short but fruitful exhibition. By reviewing and reliving the experience I was reminded of all the incredible lessons learned throughout the process.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjrAxs5lXoWhiazDC-nPnUwG8MiWfT3GVE2VFFWsrBJgXzm6gWeNX8qgYtJrEJtmKAbaj1WubuHDE0MJpo8uBl9kKhLDWkiMycY9w7gEEjKL_9pNBKbn_QQpKIDmPT2WSH0_u-wRyBp1F1Ek7A47Y1DFQwC55U0COurFpZed87TWKfrWBll_H6kLlJc=s3000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjrAxs5lXoWhiazDC-nPnUwG8MiWfT3GVE2VFFWsrBJgXzm6gWeNX8qgYtJrEJtmKAbaj1WubuHDE0MJpo8uBl9kKhLDWkiMycY9w7gEEjKL_9pNBKbn_QQpKIDmPT2WSH0_u-wRyBp1F1Ek7A47Y1DFQwC55U0COurFpZed87TWKfrWBll_H6kLlJc=w640-h512" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Community volunteers help poke wool fibers onto ‘Hanging Pod’ sculptures at a ‘Felting Party’ at Metz’s studio in San Jose, 2018.</i></div><div><br /></div><div> The core of my original Yuma presentation remains the same-- sharing the concepts, techniques, and processes I used to create large-scale sculpture out of wool and felt through photos and stories. I’ll talk about managing the project over two years: filling the multiple roles of Lead Artist, Project Manager, Fundraiser, Marketer, and PR person among many others. And I’ll elucidate how, for the first time, I enlisted help from studio assistants as well as volunteers from my community who worked alongside me at ‘Felting Parties’ to apply wool to the surface of the sculptures. The ‘InTouch’ project caused me to stretch and grow in every aspect of my artmaking. Looking back at it now through the overlay of our communal yet individual pandemic experiences makes me appreciate and acknowledge the value of being part of a community of makers that much more.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Digital Anatomical Theater is a series of
photographic images on silk and 360-degree photographs shown on a Virtual
Reality headset. The series explores medical spaces from historical to
contemporary times. The photographs were shot in anatomical and operating
theaters in Europe, former insane asylums, and in present-day digital
anatomical theaters— spaces where visualization technologies are used to view
the body such as MRI machines. Early scientific practices for representing the
body were conducted in Renaissance anatomical and operating theaters, places
where public dissections and operations were performed in order to study the
body. I wanted to better understand how history reverberates through medical
practices and spaces, and make use of the immersive experience that happens
through the physical perimeter change and sensory limitation that occurs when
using VR. The medical industry is also one of the top consumers of VR
technology, using it for a variety of things, including mitigation of stress
before a procedure, and helping paraplegics gain muscle control. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Working with photographic imagery in an immersive environment for the first
time inspired me to learn more about the history and future of VR. VR has been
present throughout photographic history. Artists have always been pioneers of
technology, but photographers have been at the forefront of engagement with
immersive visual environments. These include the Viewmaster in 1939 and the
Stereoscope and Cyclorama in the 1800s. Although modern-day VR has crossed into
the realm of interactive and performance art, it still makes use of early
photographic technology and stereoscopic vision.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Virtual Reality has been called a modern-day empathy machine. Works such as
“The Machine to be Another” (BeAnotherLab), “Zero Point” (Oculus), and
journalistic stories presented in 360-degree photos and video, suggest that VR
has the ability to put a viewer in someone else’s shoes. This is because of
mirror neurons; neurons that respond to actions that we observe in others,
firing in the same way that they would if we recreated that action ourselves.
Mirror neurons are a cornerstone of human empathy and language, and VR
technologies are believed to access this phenomenon. Artwork in this arena
makes use of scientific discourse that bridges aesthetics, medicine, and
psychology, tapping into human emotions and accessing something at the core of
human civilization. Can the immersive perspective that VR provides increase
empathy? What might be the positive outcomes or recourse in believing this?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

While one company is developing a VR application that allows individuals to
“experience” what it feels like to be disabled, others are developing applications
that permit individuals with varied abilities to virtually tour spaces that
would otherwise be inaccessible to them. I will share examples of ways that
photographers are using VR technologies, including my own experiments and
failures, and share the kinds of questions that researchers and artists are
grappling with as they examine the future of VR. I will also have devices
available for the audience to view the work from the Digital Anatomical Theater
themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">If you have ever met me, chances are you know
that I was raised in a Fundamentalist Pentecostal church. Our church leader had
been prophesying the end of the world since the mid-seventies, and with every
passing year the congregation became more emphatic that we were living in the
end times. For as long as I can remember, I was taught not to fear death, but
to welcome it. People would often tell me, always with a glow of religious
fervor, “This isn’t our true life. Our true life comes after we die.” This
constant discussion of death filled me with existential dread from such a young
age that it drove me to seek out why something that was so reassuring to those
around me could be so terrifying for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I developed a fascination with subjects that
touched on the macabre, such as Vanitas paintings, which used imagery like
bones and wilting flowers as reminders of man’s mortality. The word Vanitas was
derived in part from Ecclesiastes 1:2, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
While the original Hebrew word “hevel” means a “breath,” or “vapor,” and
symbolized fleetingness, later translations substituted the word vanity, which
has Latin origins meaning empty, vain, and idle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In Medieval Christianity, disease and death
were seen as divine punishment, and it was common for individuals to examine
their moral conduct to determine how they had brought illness upon themselves.
In some form or another, this belief lives on today. I was never a healthy
child. The other members of our church saw my constant injuries and afflictions
as an indication of a moral failing on my part. This pressure to fear my pain
and illness, to feel ashamed of it, drove me to try to find a way to redefine
the situation for myself, to reclaim the beauty in the transience of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I call these "destructed"
vessels <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Burnt Offerings </i>because
they not only represent my homage to the medium and the power of heat and fire,
but also they challenge me to heal what has been destroyed and hopefully make
it more beautiful. As I began making my vessels several years ago I was not
conscious of the Japanese ceramic tradition of Kintsugi which is about healing
broken vessels. In time I began to see my vessels as representing my attempt to
make a broken world whole again, much like the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The fact that my enamel narration is
frequently on both sides of my vessels has created the challenge of finding
balance and harmony between the enamel and the form. It is always exciting when
I succeed. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

to evoke the looseness of painting on canvas. I see the layers as creating 3-D
color which reflects and refracts light through and off of the various layers
and the copper. Light, optics and dimensionality are everything to me.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "optima"; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.5in;">Insects find way into our homes no matter how vigilant we are in our effort to keep the nature on the outer side of our windowpanes. Most people, on encountering an insect in their home, will poison it, squash it, or quickly usher it out the door. During my investigation of suburban experience, I started recording the indoor wildlife consistent with the environment my subdivision occupies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "optima"; font-size: large;">In the Southeast of the United States, where I live, the seasons can be measured by the occurrences of different insect swarms. About 84% of known animals belong to the Arthropod Phylum. Zoologists estimate that number of insects species alone could be as high as 10 million. Taxonomists name and describe about 2000 species of insects annually. Unfortunately, in spite of their numbers and variety, they are vanishing at an alarming rate. Many species of insects will become extinct before they are even discovered, due to habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental issues. From newsworthy bee colony collapses to recent noticeable absence of dead insects on our windshields, some species fell by 75% to 90% in the last 20 years. As they are not charismatic megafauna, theirs is a silent extinction.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "optima"; font-size: large;">These little (and sometimes not so little) home invaders are natural product of our own occupation of their habitat. As we keep expanding our subdivisions to the outskirts of towns, we inhabit recently altered environments. This project investigates the results of our habitat’s expansion into rural areas and relationships between suburban landscape and it’s inhabitants- both human and insect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "optima"; font-size: large;">This project started in 2011, a year after I moved to North Carolina suburbs, and started finding small Carpet Beetle larvae in my rented duplex. Shortly after, I was given a chance to use scientific imaging equipment at the biology department of my university. Insects I photograph are found during my daily routines, either at home, or at work, and are titled after an unspecified location, and a partial date, further hinting on the style of presentation of a scientific specimen. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "optima"; font-size: large;">In general, this project investigates environmental and political aspects of landscape, use of land and cultural interpretation of inhabited space. This anthropomorphic presentation of our closest, often invisible, co-habitants in a humorous, quasi-scientific way, is an invitation to consider the evidence of the human impact on the landscape as we constantly redraw boundaries between us and the natural environment. In the age of popular “citizen science”, this project is an honest and “tongue-in-cheek” endeavor by an artist to observe a near-by natural world from an unusual angle. </span></div>

I carefully arrange the LED lighting, small reflectors and diffusers, creating portrait-studio lighting on a micro scale. Multiple images from two separate microscopes are combined in order to “stack” the various focal distances and achieve an optimal focus for my “models”. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "optima"; font-size: large;">At this point, the series consists of close to 80 images of commonly found insects and other arthropods.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">There are so many things we can try to make better. Thanks
to Yuma Art Symposium for giving me an opportunity to think about it with
you.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I will focus on the theme of
Amendments in a presentation, a brief demonstration and with a few artworks in
the West Gallery of the Yuma Art Center January through February 2020.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It could be said that all of my artwork is just a set of
self-portraits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I say that because
they are all about people and conditions I have seen. Those observations affect
me in my own particular way and I sift through them to a portrait and story of
someone who has experienced what I noticed. But, I know my interpretation
cannot be taken as the “truth."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is just the way I work it through, with a hope for something that can
apply to the experience of many others and may be just a bit better or have a
touch of humor in what usually begins as a negative concern.</div>

Most of my adult life was invested as a development director
in not-for-profit institutions. I needed a dependable income to insure that I
would be able to support myself and save enough to convert to a full-time art
career. Fortunately I found jobs where I was in close contact with many
creative people who kept my brain busy thinking even when I had little time to
set my hands in motion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once those hands got to moving, I found that what I really
wanted was to skip the formal art techniques I had studied over the years and
find a way to use the more personal methods I learned as a child…sewing,
knitting, and crochet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
thinking about stories from my childhood and issues that seemed very personal,
but also universal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me these
hand techniques seemed the best way for me to tell those stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I began.</div>

My first fiber artwork fingered through painful childhood
memories and were actually often self-portraits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I moved through health issues of friends and family, my
homeless brother, my foster mother’s aging and death, and untold tales of
mysterious relatives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In every
case, telling the story was a growth experience for me, both in resolving an
issue and expanding my artistic approach. Each personally known story also had
a more universal application that I hoped could reach others with hope and
sometimes laughter.<br />

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the months of December
to August if you happen to drive south over the run down St. Georges bridge
crossing into what some would call “slower lower” Delaware you might notice a
strange looking site on the side of Route 13. A large white old style farm silo
that looks like it crawled out of the depths of hell sits silent waiting for
the last weekend in September to emerge. Through the years it has been the
recipient of many a facelift, including most recently a set of flashing red eyes, but since 1996 this
regional road side anomaly Frightland Haunted Attractions has been scaring the
daylights out of its customers every Halloween season.<br /><!--EndFragment--></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was also the place I called home every October of my
formative years. I worked in the “make-up trailer” every weekend from (6pm to
1am) turning some 200 seasonal employees into witches, zombies, ghouls and
clowns to haunt the 1,<span lang="PT" style="mso-ansi-language: PT;">300 acr</span>es
that made up the Frightland compound. One of my best jobs was one of my first
jobs and I realize now that this job offered me something at 17 years old that
some people never experience in their entire lifetime. The feeling of being in
love with what you do everyday. I will never have a job like it again and never
feel the pride of making a grown man run away screaming in terror at the simple
sound of of my clown bicycle horn. </span></div>

would volunteer to work on updating the existing buildings and help to build
new places for the next attraction to live. Sometimes I would be asked to use
hundreds of donated books to create a hidden door library in what we called
“Idealia Manor” or using a cherry picker (for the first time) go up 20 ft in
the air to paint the stripes on the “circus tent” on the clown set that was
part of the hayride. This place gave me purpose in my dreary high school life.
My first opportunity to work with a diverse creative team to create a visual
experience that was unique to that place. I was extremely proud to be able to
contribute to what I was convinced (at the time) was the only cool thing in
Delaware. Nowhere in the world is like Frightland. It is now 10 years later and
I feel like I can still say that with one hundred percent certainty. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Every time I take one of my road trips I prefer to drive on non-interstate highway systems to absorb a bit more regional culture of the location I am traveling through (and to see less Cracker Barrels). I see hundreds of places that were once like Frightland. Dinosaur World in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, The Land of Oz in North Carolina, or Bushkill Park in Philadelphia. All of them once thriving unique whimsical business’s now quiet, but still standing with a patina of chipped paint, rust and time. For me these are places of inspiration and act as monuments to the people who dare to go through with a crazy dream. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hand sculpted concrete and chicken wire dinosaurs. A
highly curated garden wonderland inspired by the Land of Oz (complete with
yellow brick road). This is not your soulless franchised Dave and Busters
entertainment, this has love attached and can only be experienced at one place
in the whole world. I love everything about these places, right down to the
hand painted menu boards at the snack stand. These locations encapsulate a specific
type of commercial art (before tech) that grabbed hold of our collective
imagination and never let go. The type of Willy Wonka business sense and
creative stubbornness necessary to pull off a drive through dinosaur park in
the Ozark Mountains is something I admire and believe is very important to
conserving our regional history and identity as Americans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s the haunted houses, the diners, and the UFO museums that
compose the DNA of my America. In my jewelry series “Mile Marker” I create
miniatures to commemorate these fading locations and the interactions I have
there. Every person at each BBQ shack, juke joint, diner, hotel, and roadside
attraction can provide an opportunity for a valuable exchange of lessons and
these exchanges serve for me as a catalyst to make more work. I am afraid my
generation is losing their adventurous spirit. My work attempts to connect to
the human part of us to inspire people to turn off their GPS and pickup a road
atlas.</span><br />

A Journey into Divine Creativity</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">I want to thank
the Presentation Committee for selecting “Mohan’s Chariot: A Journey into
Divine Creativity” for this years Yuma Symposium. It is an honor to introduce
your audience to the extraordinary history, and experience, of the chariot
maker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In the Hindu
religion chariots are used as traveling temples, called temple cars, that are
used to bring temple festivals and prayer to the community when the community
members are unable to find their way to the temple. Chariots are made with a sense
of reverence and devotion that is breathtaking to see and feel: it is
considered a blessing to work on a chariot and I now know this is true. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">I was invited to
join a team of silversmiths from Tamil Nadu, India, to participate in the creation
of a chariot for Sri Ganesar Alayam, a Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I am the only women in the world to have been given this honor as this is a specifically
male creation made by those who have learned this ancient art at the feet of
their fathers and grandfathers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In addition to being
a chariot maker, I documented the process of creating this splendid moving
temple that is 22 feet tall, weighs over 1 ton of silver and is comprised of
many thousands of chased and repoussed silver panels, 7000 hand made silver
nails and 102 large enamels. It is the only chariot in the world adorned with
enamels, and these were my contribution to this remarkable rolling temple. To
witness and participate in this creation, and the lively environment where it
was made, is to enjoy the embrace of a community of metalsmiths so rich in
similarities yet distinctly culturally unique. This journey is not only in
recognition of the historical and spiritual depth found in Mohan’s studios,
this journey describes a familiar thread that engages all creative individuals.
It is the intuitive connection to work and working that compels us as artists<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 16pt;">It is truly an honor to have been selected as a Yuma Arts Symposium
presenter. For approximately 30 years, I have been making paintings, drawings,
and prints of the contemporary urban landscape.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Being a native of Los Angeles, cityscapes hold a special kind of
beauty for me which require embracing all aspects of them: from the gritty to
the refined. Within my pieces, I try to portray feelings such as hope,
struggle, grace, fragility, and strength, so that my work becomes a metaphor
for life and all that it encompasses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 2.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I use the
complexity of architectural elements, often in the form of freeway columns,
telephone poles, and construction scaffolding, to provide structure and
stability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbed wire, hazard
signs, and traffic cones depict ideas of strife and despair, while exaggerated
perspectives create psychological tension.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In contrast to the darker elements, the use of backlighting
represents hope and dreams. While all of my works are devoid of human figures,
many contain house or roof shapes that symbolize a life within the landscape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one to the other (and back and forth again, and again, and again…).</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">In the 80s and 90s I worked as a
draftsperson, back in the days of pencil and paper and t-squares. At the
time, I tried to isolate my studio work from my drafting work. Now that
I’ve had some distance from that job, I’ve begun to appreciate the inherent
drafting “brain-wiring” that I acquired and to take advantage of it in my
studio work. It’s become apparent to me how much both my 2D and 3D work
owe to my drafting background.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt;">I am honored and excited to participate in the YUMA Symposium 2018 as one of the presenters. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt;">My artistic journey started from a fascination with machine and has been an exploration of mechanism for its purely minimal form and vitality from interactive movements. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt;">In my main kinetic work series “Wings,” I place a pair of feathers on the tip of the finger or on the top of a metronome pendulum. The feathers are devised to flap as the wearer bends the finger or the metronome ticks. Mechanically constrained, fragile feathered wings come to life and resonate with wearers and viewers. They are intriguing and whimsical, yet evoke sympathy as if holding a fragile life in your hand or reflecting on a life in the mechanized world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt;">The presentation will also include other projects including collaboration with costume designers for television shows in Korea, for which I created various metal props. Also, I will share how digital processes have evolved my design and studio practices.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Living in a border region here in
Texas’ Rio Grande Valley in the All American City of McAllen in the now/the
troubled times of the early twentieth century I find both great similarities
and also some distracting differences when compared to my native Midwestern
home base of Ankeny/and the nine time All American City of Des Moines, Iowa (We
are in the lower Midwest here in the RGV says me), I am a slow singles hitter
that may have developed a taste for the home run. Several fellow artists within
my geographical region and circle of influence insist that art must be engaged
in political</span> commentary specific to our current time and place or it all
falls apart into decorative fluff stuff that may as well have been shaped by
and in Denton or Des Moines or Detroit…Let’s go!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two artists spoke of the border region in Texas during very
well presented talks last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Photographers
Liz Cohen with<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Canals, Cars,
Bikinis and Rags and Colin Blakely’s Disrupted Views tied their work and ideas
to the open space and natural beauty of the Big Bend region way the heck up the
river about 700 miles from us down at the tip of Texas where the Rio Grande
empties into the Gulf of Mexico.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
hoped to find some romance, sweet or bittersweet, here, too in the lower Rio
Grande Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cohen, who does a
variety of complex combinations through “<span style="background: white; color: #333333;">work that is interdisciplinary, bringing
together inquiry in women’s studies, literature, poetry, and auto mechanics as
well as expertise in documentary photography”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cohen’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>documentation of the </span>creation process <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in making an <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>effectively powerful and attractively cool 1973<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>El Camino-ish ride from an economically
inefficient economy oriented 1987 East German Trabant was several flavors of
amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Promising much and
delivering….what?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who has that
much time and money and hard working get up and go?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why would anyone try to combine a low rider with a bare
bones beast of burden?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why would
anybody wish to see what happens when you put peanut butter on your grilled
cheese or mix the excess of Peter Saul with the restrained of Warren
Mackenzie?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will it taste good or
be a bitter lesson?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I already
drive a 99 Tacoma which has the muscle, economy, and promised effectiveness of both
the El Camino and Trabant, though it is not particularly cool. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or is it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just drove it
off the lot almost twelve years ago, made forty eight painful payments of
$325.00 and now need to quit dreaming and make purposeful art, not reposition
my skills in the creation of that segment of the four wheeled American
Dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t fit into a bikini
and the car culture attraction seems to blink in and out intermittently of my
psyche but what a transformative concept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And transformation is part of my American Dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dreaming is a big part of what I do,
but what exactly will I do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blakely
didn’t step into social commentary, he escaped into the majesty of nature, another
type of transformational force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ramping
up the documentation of these forces beyond our control, he tied his work and
ideas to painters with Photoshop enhancement skills, Albert<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bierstadt and Thomas Cole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Drama!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nature does directly tie to beauty and majesty, and if we
tie into the American Spirit shouldn’t we take a bite or two out of that apple AND
TRY TO CONTROL or USE the forces of nature<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FOR GROWTH OR PROFIT because we can?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is the purpose of social
commentary?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What can it do? Pleasure
seems to have to take a back seat while serious art provides more than encouragement
to…act…escape…think…all of the above…Do I need a mission statement?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What would/will the end result be?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where can I fit in and what visuals,
functionally useful or not, accomplish the most in the short or long run?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To summarize the rambling rumbling in my brain and varied
creations I am involved with right about now:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My value to the institution where I am employed to teach
several variations of art (appreciation in addition to some ceramic action, where
by definition APPRECIATION means to EVALUATE something FAVORABLY) has me
present art based upon specific roles/platforms that the artist fills for which
I have crafted the following mnemonic device:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>World Record For Valentine…Artists allow us to SEE the WORLD
as the artist sees it/See the world through others’ eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Artists RECORD people, places and
events from the artist’s time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Artists make FUNCTIONAL items more pleasurable and meaningful and in
turn make life more pleasurable and meaningful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Artists give VISIBLE FORM to the immaterial---feelings, the spiritual/metaphysical
realm, and universal truths (whatever they might be because that stuff always
seems to be shape shifting and fairly fluid, possible controlled by those in
POWER!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So I’m going to Power through with Plan A, stick stuff together in
pursuit of a dream like state and that is to make a set of bodacious bottles
that borrow and blend each of these roles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We should see collaged conglomerations with lots of peanut
butter and cheese and hard luck and hard candy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These bottles<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>, though perforated, shouldn’t
be empty; in fact, they can fill you up with what you NEED.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if that lines up with what you
WANT, so be it….<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am excited to speak at the Yuma Arts Symposium and I look
forward to discussing my work in terms of intentionality and the creative
process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 203.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">I am interested in representing the ephemeral, transitory,
and delicate balance between presence and absence. While these are all arguably
serious things, my work has a playfulness to it that hopefully creates a space for
viewers that is simultaneously poignant and funny.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">My photographs are all unmanipulated pictures of events
that I make happen in the world. They exist at least long enough to be
photographed. The creation of these photographic moments often requires a
friend to do an odd activity, a commonplace object to be repurposed, or a
remote location where less explanations to passersby are required. Along the
way I have come to appreciate this part of my practice—the misadventure, fumbling,
and even failure that eventually leads to realizing the image I wish to make.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I first went to Yuma each year from 1986-89 when I was in grad school at SDSU, and when I look back at the presenters list from those years, my heart just swells. So many names of people who had such an impact on my work, on my life. The demos were super memorable: Phil Baldwin lighting his cigarette with a hot ingot he was forging, Dave Pimentel's Julia Child style demos of raising copper, Leslie Leupp taught us how to rivet, and Claire Sanford taught us to patina. The photographers always left me looking at the world in differently: I remember seeing a slide show from Jim Stone who showed pictures of landscapes with x's. (So of course I started looking for x's and made some pictures too. That's what students do, right!). David Graham showed us the extraordinary in the ordinary. I remember showing my slides for the first time to anyone ever in "Multiple Slide Abuse," sleeping in a big rented RV nicknamed the "Yumabago," and eating Moo Goo Gai Spam. The first big lecture I ever gave was at the Yuma Symposium in 1993, and I can tell you that the opportunity to present was just such an honor. It was Boris Bally and Roy's first lecture too, and I'll always remember sharing joy and nervousness with them. It was cool. It was also a career launcher. Because it was 1993, there are no facebook memories of it, no Instagram feeds that I can go back to check out, and if anyone did actually take any pictures, it is likely that those slides have become someone's fabulous crafted lampshades. Here are some pictures of the eyewear I was making at that time. </div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">So in my lecture this February, twenty-five years after my first one, I'll talk about my career. As an artist, I’ve cobbled together
a life of part-time teaching, making art objects for others, designing eyewear
for fashion industry, and running my business of being self-employed all under
the name of “small artist at large” for over two decades. Photography has
always been a part of it, but had been the part of my artistic practice that
gets attention when I’m not too busy doing other things to earn a living. In
the past five years, that has changed, with my full time commitment to making
still life photographs of flora and tiny fauna. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">I’ll tell you secrets like how it is that the grasshopper is as
big as a watermelon. I’ll talk about all the work I did that led me through
designing, making and teaching about eyewear as a jeweler, and then how it is
to change directions to a different art form, photography, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>with
complete serious intent, as an older person. My “demo” will be more of a show
and tell, showing my collection of handmade eyewear, as well as some
photographs. I’m also looking forward to showing off my saw, file, and
soldering skills at the appropriate moment. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My new series of sculptures “Sailmaker” are large anagama
and soda fired ceramics. They are representations of people going through
passages in life. Abstracted, cocooned people traveling in vessels, the
sculptures are about our secrets, the things we have within us, unseen,
unheard. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A year ago,
when I was writing my proposal to present at the Yuma Symposium, I had too many
ideas, because I am far too passionate about metalsmithing and making in
general. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I ended up narrowing it down to two possibilities: </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">a very metalsmithy
demonstration on pin back mechanisms or a presentation on the collaborative
projects that I have been working on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">

<span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">When I was informed
that I was chosen to be a presenter, and would have an opportunity to share my
collaborative research projects with the Yuma Symposium crowd, I was over the moon! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">

<span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">What better venue to talk about the magic of collaboration than The Yuma Arts Symposium!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The event that we will all be attending
and enjoying this February is a superb example of how collaboration can inspire people and be </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">something that is enjoyed for years. </span> The Yuma Symposium, and the friends that
started it, have motivated younger generations, and we have hit the ground
running in search of building our own collaborative relationships.</span></div>
