Finally!!! The TalkTalkConvo Mini Doc

My new mini doc!

This documentary documents my TalkTalkConvo experiential piece that took place in several Jacksonville area libraries. I used the library as an artspace for several reasons; chief among them being art access. So often potential art viewers don’t necessarily feel comfortable in gallery and museum spaces. I most wanted to present this piece in a space that welcomed everyone. Minus the setup and breakdown time, loading in and loading out, I had so much fun doing this. My Mom who is like my art show roadie was amazing. I am also sure she was ready to kill me by the end of this experience. This was also a test of a Mother’s love!

This film is just a snippet of what I did for TalkTalk Convo but it means so much. I love the way everything came together in the end. Documentation is such an important component of the art process. It was actually the primary focus of the grant I received from Community Foundation. Though documentation is an important part of the process, it is often thought of last and in an unenthusiastic and perfunctory way.

So here it is. My whole-hearted and intentional documentation of my project. TalkTalkConvo. Thanks again to Isaac of Jellyfish Smack Productions who did the filming and Emily Connor who suggested him. He’s amazing. Take a look at the rest of his work too while you’re checking things out.

TalkTalk Convo | An Art Encounter

It’s happening! Nothing has gone as I’ve planned and I’ve learned to say “that’s ok”… I’ve enjoyed making the artwork for it. It is so much fun to play.

Here is a little of the design work I did for it. Once I love an image I have to experiment with it in different ways…

Please come if you can. I do understand that having these encounters at the library at different times of the day is an unorthodox way to have this type of art event…which is honestly the point! It makes it that much more fun! So stop by when you can. Maybe on your lunch break. Check out the events page for places and times.
