art and shit
my fine self
I’m always kind of hesitant about being happy when things are going smoothly.I will get souped about certain things but it’s been my experience that things just won’t work out how I imagine. But I’m really excited because today I put my deposit down for SMFA and they gave me a pretty good financial package which makes my parents breathe a little easier. I also got a call back from this local jeweler who is based out of Cranston who said she’d love having me as an intern in her studio. She does a lot of jewelry but has most recently been working on illustrations and some digital work which is up my alley. She also said I will have the opportunity of just using her resources and doing my own projects in her studio which is totally awesome. She sounds really laid back and I’m going to meet her this coming Monday for my first day.
I’ve got a job, an internship, an awesome school in Boston to look forward to next fall and it’s all looking good. I’m positive and in a pretty good place right now.
Maïmouna Patrizia Guerresi
As a photographer, sculptor, and installation artist, ‘Maïmouna’ Patrizia Guerresi reveals unique and authentic sensibilities in her narration of the beauty and subtleties of racial diversity and multiculturalism. Over an established career, she has developed her own symbolism, which combines cosmological and ancestral traditions belonging to various European, African, and Asian cultures. Her personal commitment to Baifall Sufism has led her to produce an aesthetic that is able to bridge time, space and civilisations, as well as figuration and abstraction.
The human body is seen as the nucleus and temple of the soul, a place that houses a delicate, higher awareness; the very conduit for encompassing natural and cosmic forces. More about mysticism than any singular religion, her work is visionary in that it restores those elusive qualities of sacredness and unity in our frequently dehumanising and fragmented contemporary visual world. Her classic iconographic style explores the universality of human experience and reclaims the often hidden nurturing powers of feminine energy. Presented as a kind of free flowing epic, the viewer is left to read the significance of her imagery and quietly meditate on its potential to personally engage with its audience. As if her figures were speaking directly to each one of us.
From her earliest experiments with the physicality and archetypal imprinting of the psyche, through to her latest, evermore metaphoric ‘inner constellations’, Maïmouna insists on a cross-cultural discourse and an expansion of the boundaries that normally dictate our individual attitudes. She invites us to see further and to look deeper – past skin colour, preconceptions, and ethnic landscapes – into the wider paradigm of inclusion. She leads us through apparently simple notions of dimensionality into the exquisite, mystical and fragile complexities of life from within. - Rosa Maria Falvo,
