Malei Guzman - Most of the inspiration I get for

Malei Guzman -

Most of the inspiration I get for my art comes from music. The pieces I included were inspired by music and my own feelings and cultural background. I got to explore the other two ideas for my Art 100 class that I’m currently taking this quarter. @svddenmalei

Piece descriptions
“Take Ya Head Off” (black and white)
12/1/2020
Digital Painting made on Procreate,

This piece was inspired by one of my favorite Djs/Producers Svdden Death. The head is the mask he uses when he performs. I am drawn to his “evil” aesthetic he has going but I turned it into something bubbly and happy because I feel like it captures my own personality.

Johnny Onionseed re-writes American history as the last living descendent of USA’s most infamous vagabond-pioneer-real estate agent (J. “Appleseed” Chapman). Equal parts speculative humor, cultural time capsule and Molotov cocktail, his collage work examines the relationship between American pop culture, consumer ethos, Earth and our beliefs.

Katherine Parker

Katherine Parker’s work investigates how the separate roles of conscious and subconscious influence individual perception and spatial interpretation. Her work is concerned with the fragility of objective experience as it filters excessive visual and subconscious information in the understanding of external space. She is currently exploring how subconscious internal processes, such as digestion and muscle memory, impact an individual’s consciousness.

Katherine Parker primarily works in installation, projection, digital drawing, photographic manipulation, painting, and fiber work.

Upcoming this Thursday, December 3rd! Miwa Matreye

Upcoming this Thursday, December 3rd! Miwa Matreyek joins us for the Remote Arts Colloquium from 5-650p. Miwa is an animator, director, designer, and performer based in Los Angeles. Coming from a background in animation, Matreyek creates live, staged performances where she interacts with her animations as a shadow silhouette, at the intersection of cinematic and theatrical, fantastical and tangible, illusionistic and physical, and the hand-made and digital. Her work exists in a dreamlike visual space that makes invisible worlds visible, often weaving surreal and poetic narratives of conflict between humanity and nature as embodied performed experinces. She performs her interdisciplinary shadow performances all around the world, including animation/film festivals, theater/performance festivals, art museums, science museums, tech conferences, and universities. A few past presenters include TED, MOMA, SFMOMA, Sundance New Frontier, ISEA conference, REDCAT, and many more.

Her latest solo piece, Infinitely Yours (2020), is a kaleidoscopic interpretation of the increasingly alarming headlines from the last 4–5 years and the artist’s own climate anxiety: destructive weather, floods and droughts, extraction and pollution, and our worry about an uncertain future. The piece features the artist’s silhouette figure in shadow that morphs through scales and points of view—from one individual, to all of humanity, to the earth itself, switching at a turn from scene to scene. The figure drown in an ocean full of plastics, rise and fall with the city, and choke on smog.

Matreyek received her MFA for Experimental Animation and Integrated Media from CalArts in 2007. She is also a co-founder and core-collaborator of the multi-media theater company, Cloud Eye Control. She is a recipient of the Golden Nica for Computer Animation at Prix Ars Electronica (2020), Sherwood Award (2016), Creative Capital Award (2013), and Princess Grace Award (2007).
