Embedded Files
Taught by Gregory Kline at Hampshire College, Fall 2024
This booklet reads:
"We want to begin by naming that we are on unceded Pocumtuc land. We understand that naming this is not enough - we’re doing this as a way of acknowledging and reminding ourselves about the land we occupy, and we know this act alone does not repair the damage done by colonialism. We want to acknowledge the Pocumtuc people, the original inhabitants of the land where we live and work, and the land that Hampshire College is on."
This is the land acknowledgement written by Hampshire College on paper I made from oak leaves found on campus.
Land Ackowledgement - oak leaf paper, flower petals, white paint, embroidery thread
This installation represents the three cats that have meant the most to me, which includes some found objects and some that I have created myself. The shelves are scaled down to cat size and the records are made from the tops of cat food cans. Each cat has their own shelf, picture, and song:
Midnight: top shelf, top left picture, Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips
Stormy: middle shelf, bottom right print, Weather the Storm - Rebecca Jade & the Cold Fact
Willow: bottom shelf, bottom left picture, Wait a Minute! - Willow Smith
This installation is my Div II Supported Project and contains multiple forms of craft art inspired by books I obtained from the National Museum of African Art in Washington D.C. and my upcoming semester abroad in Cape Town, South Africa.
