holler amigos,
Today in colloquium we were graced by the presence of Cassandra Jones, a free lance installation artist with incredible compilation pieces that focus on photographs she amazingly collected through online sources that often took years to fully complete, but with wicked results. To fully express her art I'm including some reviews an critiques.
"That Jones refers to her still-frame animations as “re-animations” is apt, though in truth, her work is full of the vivid and unexpected turns that define the animation of real life. As Jones says, “If you find enough photos you can recreate life with them.” Though she is aware of the cynicism that could be inferred from the reuse of such familiar visual tropes, Jones’ work instead celebrates these similarities for their ability to reveal a common human pursuit of beauty that does not yield to established boundaries."
"Cassandra Jones demonstrates copious command with respect to spatial relation, sequential configuration, and design. In room one, she digitally fragments and then reconfigures images of flamingos into fantastically entertainingly impres
sively elaborate prints and, my favorite, patterned wallpaper. Rarely do I see imagery capable of going both ways-- totally-- fine or decorative, but you got that here. In room two, Jones co-opts various still photographs of geese in flight from various sources, then sorts, orders, sizes, and otherwise nuances 'em into motion pictures, so you think you're looking at videos of single geese flying, the only giveaway being that the backgrounds constantly change. As if that's not enough, she then V's these individual geese videos up into formation like they're migrating. Admirable endeavor on all counts."
Pink Flamingos! This piece is repeated and composed with other similar images to create a wall paper like the following which I found super coool.
