This grant proposal is requesting funds for various parts of a whole. My ultimate goal is to further my art career by applying for exhibitions. To this end, I would like to complete a series (8-10) of textile and porcelain animals entitled Petit Monsters/Little Horror for submissions. The first portion of money is to cover the cost of a clay and glass sculpting class entitled Merging Hand-building and Cast Glass at the Grand Marais Art Colony. While I consider myself proficient in textiles, my ability to work with porcelain and glass would benefit from master instruction. I believe this class will hone the porcelain and glass sculpting skills necessary to complete this series. Monies will be used to purchase the materials needed for the sculpture series. Lastly, a portion of money will be used to pay for childcare so I have dedicated time complete this project. Receipt from the Grand Marais Art Colony for the sculpting class as well as a one-page narrative detailing my experience and the skills learned during the course. Receipt for the series materials I will purchase. Documentation of the completed body of work entitled Petit Monster/Little Horror. And lastly, documentation of a local exhibition including the dates, times and location.
I took a Grand Marais Art Colony Class for mold making taught by Wayne Potratz. I made a series of 12 textile and porcelain humanoid animals titled "Charismatic Megafauna." Works from this series have been shown in 4 different juried exhibits, and two local exhibits- one group show curated by me titled Chroma Creature Vessel Vision, at the Johnson Heritage Post, Grand Marais, MN - and a solo exhibit at the Angry Trout Cafe, Grand Marais, MN.
