Critique retrospective

-
Going into this critique, I was cautiously excited to show off my work and see where everyone else had been with theirs. As we approached the 9pm deadline and there were multiple people still queued up to show their work, I became nervous that I wouldn't make it up and instead of feeling relieved as I normally do when a deadline is pushed back, I was...tense. I take that as a sign that I was truly proud of my work and ready to show it off.

So when a week later came and I got my time in the spotlight, I was so happy with the feedback I got! I had some concepts in my work that I was worried wouldn't come through or had been too obfuscated for people to pick up on. Instead, almost every concept I tried to communicate was picked up on by the audience and I couldn't have been happier! There were even interpretations of my art that I didn't intend, which I loved as well. All in all it was a great experience and I hope to use the feedback I received to carry my art forward in the future and have this work as a guideline for future projects!

The whole idea behind avant garde is defying expectation to create something bizarre and inscrutable, right? What could be more inscrutable than the mundane? There's a lot of nuance to our everyday actions and the way they are depicted on film, and I think it opens a lot of space for making small changes that can be easily passed off as real, but ultimately convey a sense of the fantastical, or of dread, or of just plain confusion. Perhaps I am cooking something, but the item on the stovetop is very much so not food. I'm not entirely certain of the direction I want to take this yet, but I am trying to hone in on a particular avenue of focus and I think that cooking may well be that avenue.

Natural, 2019 We often question (or are led to question) whether our food is 'natural' or 'green' or 'healthy', all words loaded with meaning, yet functionally useless as real qualifiers of our food because of their proliferation by industry. In my short, I humorously try to use surrealism and match cuts to question our relationship with our food and the qualifiers we give it. What makes a pepper more 'natural' than bacon? Is a tomato really more 'healthy' than beef? What is more 'green'- the farm raised pig, or the corporate farmed tomato, or the factory farmed cow, or the locally grown pepper? Many of these questions have no firm answers, yet there are many people who vehemently defend their position or stance. I aim to call attention to these questions through humor and surrealism.
