PROJECT 5
FINAL PROJECT
Holly Thompson; "99 Bottles of Queer;" installation, performance, happening @ Rocky's Bar, Bowling Green, KY
99 Bottles of queer, right now, is about my process in clay.
It is an experiment. It is about my skepticism concerning functional work and
concerning mass production. This has become a way for me to explore functional
work and feel content. The bottles themselves reference body and identity, so
they are vastly different but are presented with a sense of connectivity. Some
of them are not very good as a result of this learning experience, and I want
to break them.
The performance part of this installation is a result of a kind
of perfectionism. Breaking work that has been unsuccessful has become a
cathartic habit for me, and I enjoy sharing the grin-inducing experience with others.
The statement pretty much says it all. I really like the concept and can't imagine making 99 unique pieces for a project. I wish I could've seen this in person.
