She does other fun things.
wearable, screenprinting, fan studies, gender studies
In this t-shirt, inspired by vintage Beatles merch, the narrative of band t-shirts is repositioned to celebrate fangirls as cultural tastemakers.
Marsha Albert was 15 years old when, in 1963, she got The Beatles their first ever American airplay after requesting ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ on her local radio station. A record of the track had to be flown over from England especially.
She is credited with bringing Beatlemania to the US, as the band’s popularity across the pond took off from that point on.
Saint Dolly Parton
fan studies, ephemera
To me, and to many others, Dolly Parton is a saint. This project explores why she has been canonised by fans universally, and what makes her different than other artists, through a collection of printed objects exploring different aspects of her sainthood.
The Miracles of St. Dolly Parton discusses her miracles in the form of her generous philanthropy. The Sacred Sites of Dolly Parton is a map that shows Dolly’s journey of ambition through adversity, whether that be her family’s poverty in childhood or sexism in the showbiz industry. The Parton’s Prayer card preaches self-love and kindness, while the hair relic discusses how Dolly has utilised and found power in her femininity.
I Can Talk For England
creative coding, interactive
This p5.js interactive piece acts as a visual representation of just how much I can talk over the course of 45 minutes.
A trasncription of me answering a series of questions follows your mouse as you move around the screen, where words start to pile up. Every um, uh and like is included.
