Description: Rapunzel associates addiction, beauty, hair and flowers. It's based on the Grimm brothers retelling of the fairytale. In short, Rapunzel whose mother while pregnant had cravings for rampion flowers. Rapunzel's mother longed for the beautiful, edible flower that grew in the garden of a neighboring witch. She sent her husband to steal the flower, after being caught trying to steal the flower, they were forced to exchange their newborn daughter for a supply of flowers. The witch placed Rapunzel high out of reach in a tower, Rapunzel grew her hair over 50 feet for witch access, prince rescues her, etc. This is a story of a child who was given up for an addiction, a common occurrence in contemporary life. The installation consists of gently swaying vines projected onto the walls of the gallery; creating an enchanted garden within the gallery that evokes the witch's garden. The computer-generated vines were created with an algorithm that simulated hair. I attached flowers to the long hair/vines, as the hair moved the flowers held on.
The installation consists of gently swaying vines projected filling a wall. The playful movement of the vines is seemingly natural, yet tension is created between the physical space of the gallery and the invented landscape.
Rapunzel is a self-portrait, starting off as a playful way to think about hair simulations and diving deep into the fairy tale titled Rapunzel, the story about the young woman locked in a tower with really long hair. In the beginning of the story, the part people tend to forget, the darker part, the idea of giving up your child to an addiction, where Rapunzel's parents do this when they give their child over to their neighbor in exchange for the flower called rampion. Similarly, my parents gave up my brothers and sisters and me for their addictions to alcohol and gambling. I believe creating a self-portrait can give the viewer a chance to know the artist and perhaps connect a little deeper to the artistic intensions. I recently worked on a Merce Cunningham dance performance, I had some time to meet the dancers, get to know them. This completely changed my experience of watching their performances; I was more fascinated. As with dance, movement in animation is another way to connect with the viewer, your corporeal body and mind feel it.
