Residency update with @tonals.corner !

"Over the course of six sessions, I worked with high school juniors and seniors at @ihscahighschool in a Painting II class to create still life scenes with personal artifacts.

Working with high school students was interesting because they weren’t talkative yet their craft as painters was well developed.

We set up mini backdrops to compose their items to photograph, and then used that image as a reference for painting their still life, which was later displayed in a group exhibition at Pilsen Arts and Community House.

The first year of my residency has been layered because, well, I am not a painter, but a photographer. Yet I do view these mediums as mirrors to each other. It was cool to witness the process of having students think just as critically about their composition, lighting, and image as they did translating them into their painting. On the other end, it resurfaced feelings I am in constant flux of resolving around the loss of my brother when we were kids, as well as the estrangement that often accompanies growing up in an abusive and neglectful household. This is reflected in the titles of the pieces, "One Big Happy Family" and "Family Portraits."

⟣ Traces of Passing ⟢
Sound by @mauriciolopezfernandez

Anxiety. Speed. Constant change.
The tension of living in a fast-moving, ever-shifting world.

Is the hometown that lives in our dreams still there?
What happened today to the people we quietly passed by?

This work is an invitation to pause within the restless rhythm of Chicago. To notice what we carry, what we are losing, and the lives moving quietly beside our own.

—
Opening Reception:
📍 May 21, 7:30PM
Chicago Riverwalk - The Jetty, between Wells and Franklin Street

If you can’t make it that night, projections continue Thursday–Sunday at 8:30 PM through May 31.
—

The evening will feature two projection programs, beginning with a work led by the Museum of Contemporary Photography @mocpchi and artist Colleen Plumb @plumb.colleen, followed by the CPS student projections and my work.

Many thanks to @aipschicago. I’m deeply grateful to be a resident artist in this program and to be part of this collaboration. Looking forward to sharing this night with students, collaborators, and community 💛

This month, we had the pleasure of visiting EXPO Chicago (@expochicago) with Michele Clark High School (@mclarkeagles) and our Executive Director, Joe Freshgoods (@joefreshgoods).

During our visit, students connected with resident artists, Jonathan Michael Castillo (@joncastillophoto) and Deirdre Colgan Jones (@deirdrecolganjones), from Artists in Public Schools (@aipschicago).

Students had the opportunity to learn about their work, explore their residency projects, and get to know the artists behind the work.

Thank you to our friends, Artists in Public Schools, for having us and showing our students what is possible.

We truly admire the work you’re doing in making art experiences accessible for students and artists alike!
