ARTSHIP: COLLABORATION

COLLABORATION

ANNE FERRER

I had the amazing opportunity to work/show with the brilliant Anne Ferrer. The idea was to get inspired by a static work of art (I chose this amazing waterfall landscape) and bring it to life with a fashion/performance piece. Loved every min. of it!

The inspiration: Frederic Edwin Church Tequendama Falls, near Bogota, New Granada (1854)

The Original Sketch

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

JAMES SCHENCK

(°1978) received his BA from Vassar College and his MFA from University of Cincinnati College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning.

Through both two-dimensional art and installation, Schenck addresses the conditions of persona, as well as the role society plays in the construction of identity. The artist’s body of work articulates tactile and gestural expressions of self-examination, the importance of visual balance and clarity, and the daily numbness experienced as one journeys for approval.

Schenck summarizes the results of his process as “2-D performance.” The aesthetic should always feel fun and welcoming, while the undercurrent stems from an urgent, honest insecurity. Schenck currently lives and works in Cincinnati.
