Danielle Freakley

Danielle Freakley is an Australian born artist she works in performance, sculpture, reasonable dancing , sound text or what ever other materials work to digest the idea at the time. Her performance change daily social communication and relationships exposing historical and lurking private projections and subtext. This usually happens in collaboration with audience who accidentally perform with her.

I really like her performance art because its completely different. The piece I liked the most was the "don't quote me on that" she spent 3 years just quoting everything she was saying, its just the most weird thing to do but it must of took a lot of practice to remember each and ever quote and also remember when and where that quote was made from.

Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza´s characteristic use of crafts such as patchwork, knitting or embroidery combined with other media on her artistic work, bestow a poetic quality to depictions of plants and their growth – which defy our serial and industrialized times. Since she graduated from the Art Faculty of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú , Barboza´s use of manual crafts became the means to convey a meditative and powerful observation with the environment and her relationship with reality.

I also like how her work is sometimes based on her response to other artist http://www.lifeanduseofbooks.org/old_site/corridor-videos.html I was unable to add some videos of Laurens work but here is a link to some

Family Selfie

Throughout this semester I wanted to challenge myself and look at working with calico, watercolour and stitch looking at figures in photographs, I also wanted this piece to be very personal to me and be in memory of my nanna as well as be a public piece. For this project I wanted to look at how The Walker Gallery is a very family friendly gallery but not everyone can Remember seeing all the gallery which gave me the idea to look at how our minds might betray what we remember. The piece I created was called “Family selfie” and its 8” x 8” and the media used was water colour and stitch on calico, it is about the idea of remembering little bits like colour of someone’s hair or the colour of what they are wearing, this piece is also about patchy memories and tangled thoughts, so you can remember what colour hair someone has but you can’t remember their facial features or brand of clothing they had on which ties in with why this piece is in the café.
