DocuSign Envelope ID: EE92BA24-A67F-4F4A-8067-F8FOEF642894 <br /> Project/Program This application is a request for financial support to participate in a <br /> Summary two week artist residency this October at Hambidge Center in Georgia <br /> and purchase materials to create art during the residency. With <br /> support from OCAC, I will be able to take time off from my jobs to <br /> produce and document new work which I will use in future <br /> applications for funding, residency, and exhibition opportunities. My <br /> work explores notions of femininity and feminism, high and low forms <br /> of art making, and dreams and disasters. I am submitting five images <br /> of my Draperies. These works are made from used patterned bed <br /> sheets which I sew myself. Each Drapery is similar to a finished <br /> garment in that it is one fluid piece that hangs on a wooden wall <br /> mount, which functions like a hanger or drapery rod. I use acrylics to <br /> paint and stain the Draperies. The Draperies are influenced by <br /> clothing and curtain construction, bodily orifices, and portals. During <br /> my residency I will create new Draperies similar to the work included <br /> in this application. The included budget covers materials including <br /> paints (Golden fluid acrylics), brushes, wood, hardware, and other <br /> supplies. <br /> Community Impact There is no public component for this proposal. <br /> Artist Experience My participation in past artist residencies led me to new directions in <br /> the art that I make and my career as an artist. At artist residencies I <br /> have made long lasting connections with artists who continue to be <br /> collaborators, mentors, and friends--broadening my own network of <br /> artistic peers. I have participated in artist residencies at the Byrdcliffe <br /> Arts Colony in Woodstock, NY(2009); the Petrified Forest National <br /> Park Artist Residency in Arizona (2009); and the Vermont Studio <br /> Center (2010). Participating in artist residencies has pushed me to <br /> consider my art within a greater context of contemporary art that is <br /> not solely defined by where I live and work in Carrboro. Participating <br /> in artist residencies has also inspired me to start an experimental <br /> gallery, curate art shows, write about artists, and develop ideas that <br /> will benefit artists based in Orange County and the Southeast. I am <br /> co-director of an experimental gallery rooted in Chapel Hill called LOG <br /> (www.log into log.com). I write about artists based in Orange County, <br /> the Southeast, and beyond for an art blog called The Coastal Post <br /> (www.thecoastalpost.com). With support from the OCAC, I will be able <br /> to focus on the development of new art during my two week <br /> residency at Hambidge. <br /> PROJECT/PROG RAMP lease fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and <br /> BUDGET income.
