Description:
This recent work “Grandma” is in line with a new exploration of creating work that is interchangeably both a wearable garment and a wall hanging
Even the bitterest fruit has sugar in it.
– Terry a O’Neal
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
– Molière
This work unfolds, the silk skirting is detachable and can be hung on a wall. Like “The Robot Dress”
This work too has a built in small computer that features an ultrasonic sensor that with activated by being approached, triggers speakers that play audio of my 95 year old Ghanaian Grandmother (whom I met just months ago in Ghana) speaking a prayer over me in her only spoken language of Ashante Twi.
When meeting my 95-year-old grandmother (And other family members) for the first time less than 1 year ago, I realized that prior to that moment, I had never before been in a room with a single person that was the root of everyone else in the room.
In this work I created an artistic reinterpretation of modern algorithmic expressions of Charles Darwin’s theory of Evolution and the progression of physical features through Family generations.
