PROJECT PROPOSAL: SIXTEEN STITCHES
This collection of recent work is representative of how I envision Sixteen Stitches taking shape. My new single, “bobby gillespie”, and its B-side, “slingback”, are the first installments of my EP, MIDWESTDEMO. The songs are about celebrity crushes, feelings of placelessness, the urban landscape, and personal anecdotes of the four years that I lived in the heart of America.
The album, Sixteen Stitches, will be accompanied by 16 documents: drawings, writings, found materials etc.
These documents acts as records of my travels and my interpretations of the landscape and its histories.
EXAMPLES OF VISUAL WORK
These drawings are comparable to the research documents that will make up Sixteen Stitches.
