Opening of Old Town

A collaboration of work by Jeff Hogue, Mark Kuykendall, and myself.

The show is a collection of work inspired by a family home footage. The content is a Christmas parade in downtown Tulsa in the 1950's. The parade, on it's own, is bizarre and psychedelic with themes of Alice in Wonderland- including a cameo of The Caterpillar and the Queen of Hearts. 

I became interested in the film because how conscious the filmmaker was with his in-camera edits, chosen angles and vantage points. Aside from techniques, he used 16mm color film which, at this time, was primary for commercial or professional use and expensive to purchase and develop. This gentleman used it for home footage with no intention of showing or selling. 

As a group, we used shots from the footage as inspiration for our pieces.

Sophia Wallace | Cliteracy

Recently, I came discovered the work of a conceptual photographer named Sophia Wallace. Her current subject of work is called "Cliteracy", and in my opinion, it's not just a subject, but a movement. As found on her website, Cliteracy is "a project addressing citizenship and body sovereignty using the medium of text-based objects, unauthorized street installation and interactive sculptural forms  "

Wallace has expanded her mediums and has explored different venues to deliver this movement. TShirts, posters, public art, installations, group collaboratives, forums, and etc have been created and put out there to educated and liberate.

Today, I am the proud owner of a Cliteracy TShirt. 

..and I wear it. 

be aware. be liberated. be proud. be.
