Shelby Fleming proposal for Razerback Tradition Artwork Contest



Overview
In order to visually expand the space of the Arkansas Union room 515 and create an environment that directly reflects the culture of the University of Arkansas. I propose the following, creating 2 murals by laser etching images of campus onto mirrors. Symbolically showing the culture through the etched illustration but also showing the viewer reflected into the landscape of the mirrors.

Mural 1 will span the largest wall of the room and measuring 12 x 4 ft. etched into the surface will be the Old Main building and the landscape of campus. The back of each mirror will be painted black to make the illustration on the front of the building and surrounding landscape prominent. 




Mural 2 will measure 5 x 4 ft. and reference the University masque the razorback. Speaking to the large cultural support of the university

conclusion

+ ask hard questions of yourself. answering them, you might need to sacrifice things which are hard to lose. + art production sometimes is just a labor. you work hard and think that it should be improved with practice. practice makes perfect. but, THINK more, do less sometimes is the answer. + you think that you think a lot. but the reality is that you are only an over-thinker. over-thinking means labor-thinking. no efficient result. a frustrating process. an obstacle. a hinder which prevents you from moving. + listen. think. learn. but simultaneously act. do them. do what you learned and what you heard. + trust your emotions. it is another motive existed in you. sometimes do something based on your emotion. + break the habits. forget. start.

Shelby Fleming Word Salad

Word Salad   This week I spent sometime compiling all my notes from this semester and organizing them. I plan to, over break, do some in depth research over these topics, articles, and artist. Notes: ·          Amorphous body forms ·          Community of structures ·          Devotion to labor ·          Jason Stopa: “body as a theme to carry the weight of concepts” o    Dana Schutz “bodies provocative deformed, dark undertones, slippage ·          Link art to community engagement ·          Tension between hand and digital fabrication ·          Vertuious space/puriton view of making ·          Mirror transforming viewer ...

This week i meet with Marc Mitchell to go over the body of work I'm working on. I posted progress shots of the most current painting in progress. The canvas fabric is sewn together. Today I sewed together the next painting. I found the composition can be served by the channel created by the sewn line. It adds onto the effect of "pieced together." This piece seems to be more about personal placement within the home; my home. I feel this will only serve as a metaphor for disjointed gender. But in the context of a home, then traditional gender roles come into the forefront. That's not what this is about... This project is focused around my gender identity in and outside of a "living" space. Writing more about this will help me focus on what needs to happen for the works to be finished.
