Artist's Biography
I
am
a
BFA
student
in
Intermedia
Art
at the
University
of
Iowa
.
I
am
also a
Journalism
Major
and a
student
producer
for
AM
910
WSUI's
Weekend
America
Iowa
Edition
.
My
artwork
has
appeared
at
Intermedia
open
houses
and in the
International
Building
where
the
Intermedia
Department
is
located
.
Artist's Statement
Sock
Rock
was
my
last
open
house
piece
.
It
consisted
of a
room
iconicly
split
between
good
and
evil
.
People
were
encouraged
by
me
, the
evil
announcer
on the
PA
to
come
in and
sock
wrestle
which
consists
of
getting
on
your
hands
and
knees
and
trying
to
take
the
opponents
loosely
worn
sock
off
their
foot
. The
first
person
to
snatch
the
others
sock
won
. The
combatants
had to
choose
whether
they
wanted
to
wrestle
for the
Good
or
Evil
side
.
Before
they
could
compete
they had to
complete
initiation
rituals
for their
side
. This
project
was
about
melodramatic
perception
. How what
began
as a
simple
narrative
form
has
slipped
into
our
realities
and
is
considered
real
.
It
was
over
the
top
and
loud
in
order
to
jolt
people
out
of their
black
and
white/
good
and
evil
mind
traps
.
