Where body and object meet
With this work I wanted to dissect the material of makeup. Makeup as residue, or a removable skin. I liked the idea of leaving a trace of where I’d been in my apartment, staring out a window.
Materials include: Makeup, olive oil, and plastic. Postcards $1 and 8×10 prints $20.
I lived right off the lake for a few years, and thought it was a very seductive place. Who doesn’t love running their hands through all those peebles? Or hearing the little waves as they meet the shore? This series of photos was a way to objectify that feeling and document it.
Materials for the performance include: Topsy, Fargo Beach, porcelain slip, and wire. The 8×10 matted prints are $20 and the pasty sets start off at $45.
I spent a few weeks the summer of 2008 in the Mitte district of Berlin, and thought it was very odd how there was often this pervasive disdain towards the large Turkish population there, but if that community organized and stood up as one whole united mass, that it would tower over the whole city. Between that thought and the beautiful Berlin sky, I made this series of images called The Invasion!
These images are available as postcards, 11×14 posters, 8×10 matted prints, and t-shirts. Prices: $1 for postcards, $20 for t-shirts and 8×10 prints, and $30 for large posters.
There is one framed t-shirt autographed by Topsy left. Price for piece available upon request.
These are my images from the documentation my “Introduction of Topsy” work. Prices: Postcards $1 and 8×10 matted prints and t-shirts $20.
