Old Mint (Vernissage) Installation Photographs

After 2 long years, Zoe has completed her MFA in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute! As apart of that the graduating class held their end of the year show at San Francisco's historic Old Mint building. Zoe presented her Foamless = Homeless series, including a coloring book, posters, photographs and sculpture.

Degree Show Documentation (Part 2 of 3)

And here's part two... 


"Chit Chat Tummy" by Blake Peterson & Zoe Phillips as installed at the Glue Factory, for the Glasgow School of Art MFA Degree Show.  


The structure (approx. 6ft wide x 4 ft tall) is coated with day-glow, glow-in-the-dark, and 'night glow' acrylic paint, in addition to: latex body paint, krink, watercolor pigment, metallic ink, screen-printing ink, and various battery-powered LED lights.  Additional materials were used in the construction of the base.


The video was placed within the structure, rather than being placed on a plinth, in an attempt to actively engage the viewer.  One has to slightly bend at the waist in order to view the monitor, leading viewers to become subconsciously aware of their own stomach.

Sculpture (work in progress)

I'm doing a bit of sculpture now - basically trying to do a three-dimensional version of an arm like in my print series.


So, I'm going to take these casts, sculpt over them (once they've dried)... then take those modified versions, do another mold and make them out of translucent plastic with some pigment... 


Here are some photo's of the work as it's still being constructed...
