This Might Hurt, but I'm Hungry

So I finally got around to editing the photos of my piece at the SAIC 2013 Undergraduate BFA Exhibition. It’s better in person, so I’ll try and explain. The piece is 16 silkscreen fabric panels hung in a 7 ’ by 7’ rectangle. The exterior panels depict the surface of the ocean and the sea beneath. The interior panels (shown here) depict a graphic narrative of a mermaid, a diver, and a shipwreck. Thanks to Bronte Price for the beautiful photographs.

It is a wonderful book of poems, short stories, and for the first time this issue, a comic! Subscribe to the print issue at http://www.bluestemmagazine.com/

Above are earrings made from plywood and MDF. These earrings are prints of drawings of mine, etched into solid material by a 150 W laser cutter. Earrings include ships, waves, and waves with the following quote: “I thought the wind and waves would wash their way through my skin and salt my soul.”
