i liked her work almost immediately, but was able appreciate it more after reading the artist's statement-found under the information link on the website.

I spent the first five (ten?) minutes watching the series of images looping on the first page of her site. I was mesmerized. I suspected the "special" use of models from the very beginning. (I won't write it here so I don't spoil it for others.) However, I still wanted the images and especially the progression of images to tell a story. Perhaps better said: I wanted to hear the artist's story of the images, beyond the official personal statement. I could certainly fill in my own context for them.

WOW. i am in love!
ReplyDeleteKae- :) haha oddly enough, instantaneously after viewing the whole series did i think of you and a few other people who would probably like this. and i've gotten similar reactions.
ReplyDeleteB- I feel as though each image could stand alone as it's own narrative to a specific set of feelings and or situation. As far as you wanting to know the artist's story- for me to see some one get that involved, dedicated, and it appears consumed in a project like this tells a lot about her as a person because she is the artist. it is the artist's personal story about how she chose to deal and react to people, film, images etc that she's seen- possibly another way of trying to step out of one's self and relate to others since the feelings themselves shown are something the audience has experienced on some level or another at some point. Also, that you could "fill in" your own context with every image is key_very much is it, like all great art, a chance for the audience to gain something (i.e. revelation, new or familiar emotions, an examination of their opinion of sorts etc.) personal for themselves.
I bet you could email Kelli and get a response of some kind-it'd be a worth a try and wouldn't hurt.
