Meg's world...the city within my head.... what if I built my own city? ...or city structures...then graffiti with my art work...?
This came from me thinking about the context of my work in the city, as if i were to put it up on a random city wall... in particular i was thinking about a memorial piece for my mom. But the placement of it on a random city wall doesn't make sense. When memorial murals and graffiti throw-ups pop up in the city they are usually for someone who died in or was from that neighborhood or a famous person from that particular city. In the case of my mom, she wasn't famous and she only briefly lived in Philadelphia when she was about my age, but she passed away at our home in the suburbs. The only place I could think to put the mural would beacross the street from the house on the wood fence by the CVS parking lot. A little odd for placement but she might get a kick out of sticking it to CVS one last time after trying to stop them from building there.
Even if i did find the right local that doesn't do me much good for work in the show... And I've been thinking about building a structure on which to cover in stencils and stuff. Thinking back to "Meg's World," the land inside my head, if it were such a place, then a mural of my mom on a Meg's World wall would make sense.
But is the work going to get this personal? Is it about my life? or contemporary life? or life in general? blahhhhhhh!
