Quote: "In one of those bad puns he loved, Duchamp turned the exhibition topsy-turvy and 'stood you on your head.' The ceiling is the floor and the floor, to drive home the point, is the ceiling."
Comment: This quote refers to Marcel Duchamp's artistic gesture involving the inversion of the gallery space during the International Exhibition of Surrealism. Duchamp subverted the traditional expectations of an art exhibition by transforming the ceiling into the floor and vice versa. The act challenged the conventional relationship between the viewer and the gallery space, emphasizing Duchamp's inclination towards unconventional, thought-provoking concepts. The inversion served as a metaphorical commentary on the dynamics of art, context, and perception.
Question: How does Duchamp's act of turning the exhibition "topsy-turvy" challenge the traditional expectations of gallery spaces and the viewer's experience?
Self Directed Practice
This collage was created with film photographs I have taken and collected over the years. I assembled the pieces comprised of places I have traveled to, to create a surrealist dreamscape that would effectively flow as one. I plan on collaging much more of my photography to create more landscapes or surreal scenes.
Redo/Undo
For my Redo/Undo project I chose to do a painting for the medium switch up. I wanted to focus more on the emotion behind my history with my knee surgeries, particularly the tiredness of the repeated procedures I had to endure and the disconnect I felt from my body as I moved through the many months of recovery. I put more emphasis on the expression on her face over her actual body. The choice to keep her unclothed was to capture the sense of vulnerability I felt in those years.

Introduce Yourself
For my introduce yourself assignment I had chosen 3 segments from my thesis 1 board project. The reason for choosing this piece was partly because by the time the semester began I knew I wanted to continue and push this concept further. This project provided me the opportunity to explore the emotions and difficulties behind having had 6 reconstructive knee surgeries and how to put forth those concepts into a physical piece. There tends to be much range to my work, I don't particularly stay working with one medium for very long before I eventually circle back around to it, making experimentation and exploration a big part of my art as a whole.

A collaborative sculpture made from found patio plastic chairs and recycled pieces of stretched chicken wire. The piece speaks to inhospitable anarchitecture of the highrises which seems so out of reach as living entities for a large sector of the population. the containment in wire speaks to the separation of classes keeping out of reach the vast majority who cannot access the high rising cost of living.
Materials:
plastic patio chairs
chicken wire
