It wasn't always easy to get across to them, but once they realized what the gist of the project was, the end results came quickly and wonderfully!<br />
It didn't hurt that I used the legendary <a href="https://www.rubegoldberg.com/" target="_blank">Rube Goldberg</a> as a starting point.<br />
The students loved him and his amazing contraptions and drew inspirations from his work.<br />

<br />
One of my students wanted to make a plaster mold of his face, so we made a teachable moment out of it. You can see Ethan cutting up the plaster/gauze strips prior to me coming in to apply them to his face. You'll notice him covering his face with a thick coat of Vaseline, it's a must if you want to mold to come off.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No Ethans were harmed in the making of this video. </div>
<br />
<br />
You'll also notice me using a hairdryer. The heat accelerates the plaster drying and setting, shortening the time the <strike>victim</strike> student needs to be under the mold.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

Apparently, the simple act of marrying my husband in
California in 2008 is contributing to the end of the world. Since the elections
in 2004, when gay marriage was used as a wedge issue, this contentious issue
has dominated the elections and helped George W. Bush win a second term in

The flyers and mailings that came to our house in the very birthplace

“What about the children???” the angry and prophetic flyers wondered out loud

children? Our child helped marry us in California, as she was our flower girl
and ring bearer at the same time and she is doing just fine. <o:p></o:p><br />

the end was indeed in sight. However, on a warm and sunny afternoon in San

At the interpersonal level Mine Yours looks at real and
artificial barriers people create to separate themselves from others; at the
group level the social symbols groups latch onto to establish their uniqueness;
and at the international level the disputes nations have over territory, water
rights, and air space. The changing relationships between governments and their
citizenry will be explored in the context of growing surveillance in the ages
of terrorism, globalism, and information technology. Finally, human pathologies, resulting from
some of these phenomena will also be explored such as hoarding and various
addictions people develop as they retreat further into real or imagined safe
havens. Mine/Yours invites participating artists to comment visually on these
social phenomena, and their varied impacts and behavioral adaptations.<br />

I have been accused of being too literal in my interpretation of themes for
shows in the past. I am okay with that designation as that is how I was trained
as an artist. I have a bizarre sense of humor, and that can often times come
out in my art and in my writing. It’s not always to everyone’s taste, but humor
can be a weapon as well as a tonic.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This piece is my literal take on a punch line, with a shout
out to the old Batman TV series. The fight scenes, although never dangerous,
were taken to another level when the screen would suddenly change to “POW!” or
“OOOOFFF!” or any of the other ridiculous fight words they came up with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a world that takes itself way too seriously, it’s
refreshing to see a show that provokes laughs and elicits a smile. Art doesn’t
always have to have a message, nor does it have to be serious. Thanks to Gloria
and Rocco for giving us the chance to show this side of us as artists.<o:p></o:p></div>

I had considered that, but with the pending <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obergefell_v._Hodges" target="_blank">SCOTUS</a> ruling, I was hesitant to do anything that might look outdated once the show opened in August.<br />

So, I channeled my inner seven year old and drew a penis.<br />
<br />
A REALLY BIG PENIS.<br />
<br />
Here's my Artist's Statement for my piece "Size Queen"<br />
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My best friend in high school worked in an adult book store
our senior year. Many afternoons when I was off “studying” I was actually at
the bookstore with my friend using a razor to open the goodies displayed on the
shelves of the store.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of the magazines available in the clearance bin were
from the seventies and had that delicious raunchiness to them that so defined
that decade. Needless to say, my aesthetic, when it comes to porn and what I
find erotic, has that very same vibe to it. I think I was also scarred (and
scared!) for life by the likes of John Holmes and Al Parker, two porno
superstars with gigantic penises. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As young boys, we all wondered if we would be “big enough”
downstairs and that hope is the theme for my “Wish List” entry. Yes, the porn
industry finds the models with the biggest butts, the biggest tits, and the
biggest cocks, after all, it’s a fantasy. But when you’re an insecure teenager,
these fantasies can fuel lust and doubt in your mind. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not curing cancer or doing anything that is actually
helpful with my Wish List, I’m just presenting every boys’ wish… a giant dick and the hope that he somehow
measures up.</div>

“Doing Time With
the Masters” features artwork and artifacts collected by Assistant Professor
Tom McMillen-Oakley during his classes at Parnall Road and Cooper Street
facilities this year. Incarcerated students enjoyed reaching beyond their
confines through the journey of art history. From historical periods through
the modern era, they learned to understand art both for its cultural
significance, as well as interpreting their own experiences through new
perspectives. For example, a discussion on the Renaissance and the “rebirth” of
the world lead to a discussion of how the students were being changed for the
better behind bars. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you click on the newspaper pic and scan it, you can kind of understand the gist of what she was doing. She initially saw my piece at Art Prize and contacted me last year to secure it for the show. I was honored and thrilled to be part of this.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">In the end, I punted and dusted off a piece that has hung in our laundry room for years. It’s a washboard from my grandmother with a vintage photo of a strapping young man from a long time ago attached to it by a magnet. He’s in shape and you can see most of this ribs as well as his abdomen. I loved the photo, don’t remember where I got it, but he’s been hanging by a magnet on the board for about a decade. <br />
I have called it “Washboard Abs” in my mind, never really considering it a piece of serious art, rather a thematic decoration for our laundry room. I photographed it and submitted it to the curators of the show and they decided it was okay for the show.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">I sheepishly took it down and spent more time cleaning the piece than I ever did actually creating it. But I felt it did speak to our desire as a society to have a perfectly flat belly and washboard abs. Turn on the TV any morning and you’ll see countless devices and diets helping you towards that goal. The show was a critical success once again, receiving several reviews from the local press. <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So many things come to mind when we think about the end of the world, I hardly know where to begin. As I type this, REM’s “It’s the End of the World (as we know it)” is buzzing about in my head and images of burnt out buildings, smoking rubble, and the undead flash before my eyes. Growing up, I was haunted by the monthly air raid siren’s test. I would shudder in fear as it wailed each month, and I couldn’t wait until it was over. Back then, the end of the world would have been a nuclear attack or some other invasion from a not so friendly country to the east or west. Now, a spilled test tube or our food chain can cause our demise.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The bible was also a source for juvenile angst, as I came across an illustrated tract showing just what would happen via the book of Revelations. The portable guillotines to sever the heads of the non-Beast adopting Christians still hangs in my memory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then there is my love of horror movies and my way too early viewing of “Night of the Living Dead.” Our 7<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> grade student council decided that we should have a movie instead of a Valentine’s Dance one year; they picked “Night of the Living Dead.” I don’t remember anyone on the faculty being fired for this, but I am certain that after all the screaming, the fake retching, and howls of disgust over the zombie’s feeding on the victim’s guts, parental phone calls were made in protest. For months, I imagined what it would be like to be holed up in a basement for the rest of my life, afraid to go out because of the undead and their proclivity for human chittlins. <o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Regardless of how it plays out, it won’t be fun. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The photo was taken at Carson’s 6<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> birthday. We bought him the requisite art supplies (as is my want as an art teacher) but I sweetened the package with some rubber zombies bought at the local toy store. Carson was in love with his new gun, and was shooting everyone in its site. I was fiddling around with the zombies, trying to get them to look like they were actually at the party, and I noticed Carson pointing the gun at me. I asked him to wait and brought two of the undead up into the camera’s focus. He aimed, with great precision, and I snapped the pic just as the light from the gun went off. Not sure where the line of light came from, but I think it adds to the picture.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If I do end up sequestered in a basement somewhere, I hope I have Carson nearby with his amazing aim. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have had a keen sense of where my food comes from since I was a little kid. I grew up with a grandfather who was a 4H advisor, which meant my brother and I got to spend a lot of time at the annual Darke County Fair in Greenville, OH. I was never shielded from the slaughtering process, nor was I ever part of it. I just knew it happened. A local Polish Grocery on the corner of the street where I grew up had a hand painted sign advertising “Fresh Duck Blood” for anyone who would need it for their pot of <span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">czernina. I am not sure if they had a duck tied up in back that they bled for the shopper’s request, or if they would get it some other way. Regardless, it was odd.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we talked about the various ways we could present this show at our Collaborator meetings, some very robust and often disturbing conversations came out. I wish we would record our meetings, as the process of getting the show ready is very intense. We were discussing the human/animal connection to food, and I brought up that we had bought a pig at our county fair from a 4H girl who raised organic hogs. Our five year old daughter was delighted and couldn’t wait to go to the fair to see the pig. I have a feeling that she thought we would go to the Pork Barn and she would slip a leash on the creature and we would all skip home with our new porcine family member. It was a quiet ride home as she contemplated the pig in our chest freezer in the basement and not frolicking in our backyard.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So how did this piece come to be? I had an interesting phone call with the meat processing place as I discussed how we wanted the pig cut up after it was killed. I had looked up all the butcher’s cuts in one of my cookbooks so I could talk about all the cuts and that image of the animals prepped for butchering lingered in my mind. Our friend Charley is an athlete and a gourmand, a great combination, as he can eat and then go work off the calories with his rowing. He is also a very large man. I shared with the collaborators that our group of friends have often joked that if we were stranded in some remote location, we’d want Charley to be with us so we could eat him. Within a second, the image of Charley with the butcher cuts marked on his wide back came to mind. I asked the curators if they thought that this image was appropriate for the show and I got an enthusiastic thumbs up. I quickly called Charley and shared with him the concept and he was more than delighted to help out. Aaron, a model from the college, came to the shoot to help out and easily slipped into the role of butcher. While my original idea of just Charley with the lines didn’t make it to the gallery, this final, more sinister piece did. My love of horror and slasher-films, as well as my rather macabre sense of humor took over as we played out the various poses at the shoot. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is this piece meant to be anti-meat? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not at all. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is it pro-cannibal? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Possibly.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is it meant to make you think about what we eat and where our food comes from? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most certainly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br />
