Final Project

My three words were: storytelling, audio, and painting and drawing.

When I think of storytelling and audio, I automatically think of artist/filmmaker Miranda July. She works with narrative storytelling often with her work, exploring stories of her own or mostly of strangers. I can't find the video, but I am thinking about the art her character make in "Me and You and Everyone we Know." From what I can remember, the character creates videos of found photographs and tells a narrative about the photograph. It's a simple but poignant way of imagining scenarios and inserting yourself into found materials. I was thinking about something similar.
