Ceramic on cardboard, Digital video and components
16 x 53 x 1.5 inches
This is documentation of collaboration between artists Jessica Dupuis and Emily Beck. In this collaborative piece Jessica's ceramic sculptures become a textural projection screen for a digital video of Emily's.
Jessica's two panels are ceramic on USPS priority mail cardboard boxes. They are similar in size and form, but differ in color. Emily recently gave birth to twins. Emily’s video represents the dual feeling of fullness and emptiness present postpartum in her emotional and physical state. Physically it represents the feeling of filling and emptying of the breasts during feeding, which is both satisfying and painful. Emotionally, it represents the feeling of love for her children and a loneliness/helplessness that often comes postpartum. Jessica’s sculptures go through a wet and dry process as well. The end result is delicate and hard fragments. The pairing of the video over the two textural fields represent two breasts, two babes, the dual emotional state as well as the process of wet becoming dry.
