Description
Every time someone asks me what I do, I say, "I'm an acrobat." And then I get the typical answer... "Oh like the circus? tightrope walking and trapeze?" "....no."
Acrobatics (or now known as acrobatic gymnastics) is a competitive sport where athletes in groups of 2-4, perform a choreographed routine to music that involves: Balance or static pyramids, Dynamic or flight toss and catch skills, Tumbling, Individual flexibility or agility skills, and dance. It's a beautiful sport that definitely entertains and borderlines both athleticism and art.
My piece involves sepia toned original photos, that are then placed in a homemade sautered ferris wheel (meant to be reminiscent of a circus). The clips that hold the photos to the metal frame are actually clip on earrings!
Each photo is also lined with clear projector paper that has hand designed original drawings (or doodling if you will).
