WARP Tori-Parker

I tried to do as many designs as possible based on what information I had. One is about Florida being hot in the future. Several are about an origin story about waking up as a child without adults counting on that and realizing Abuelita wasn't coming back. Then there was one about Abuelita's hand rolled croquettas.

Thankfully, I had Kathleen to guide me and I ended up looking up a number of artists (Allen Caprow, Adrian Piper, Joan Jonas, Janine Antoni, Yoko Ono, Nancy Holt, Nan Goldin, Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann, Sol Le Witt, Helio Oiticia, Chris Burden, and so so so many more) as well as doing a planning exercise called "webbing" that she recommended. To my surprise it was my photography professor - Jose Garcia - who had the greatest influence on me (and highly discouraged me from using any form of "traditional" or 2D media whatsoever). He told me some of his own experiences in performances pieces of his past (such as burying photos in dirt around town) and showed me a queer photographer - Nan Goldin. She was also a big influence on me. I had known I wanted to do something ...
