KINGSTON, JAMAICA

2014-08-03T09:13:00.000-06:00

In the beginning of 2014, I was planning on going to a silent retreat in Maine during June 20-23 but I didn't attend the retreat, I have no regrets. I went to Kingston, Jamaica from June 17-26 for my father, Augustus Pablo's tribute which was a week of events, and a tribute show in memory of my legendary father's dub and reggae career. I had some uncomforable memories of my grandmother's death, so I felt like who would I come back for in Kingston, Jamaica. Addis was busy touring, and my uncle didn't talk to me, so I felt a bit distant emotionally, and physically living in New York City. But when I landed in Kingston, Jamaica all those feelings escaped me and it was so much good energy to be with my brother, and his friends and my father's older friends, and musical peers. My heart was set on the silent retreat but I realized I wanted to do that for me only and not for anyone else. So, my trip to Jamaica changed everything for me by being able to be apart of the celebrations in memory of my father. I videotaped, and photographed every minute of the trip, and that there was my spiritual retreat.

Saya Woolfalk at THIRDSTREAMING (GREENE ST)

2013-03-08T10:44:00.003-06:00

Wow! Chimera by Woolfalk provided vast details, visuals, and handcrafted costumes. You should check out this exhibition before it ends. Lastnight, I saw the performance about The Empathics, which is a new idea, and concept about a species of women.

Chimera
Saya Woolfalk

Exhibition Dates: January 22, 2013 – April 25, 2013

For Chimera, her first solo exhibition at Third Streaming, Saya Woolfalk will continue her ongoing investigation of a fictional species of women called Empathics as mythological and genetic chimeras. A chimera is both an imaginary female monster with disparate parts, and a scientific term for a genetic organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues – for example, partly male and partly female, or an artificially produced individual having tissues from several species. Woolfalk will explore the beauty and violence of this hybrid condition in video, photography, painting and performance.

Woolfalk’s The Empathics is a mixed media project that explores the work of a fictional group of women who inhabit and explore the unfamiliar experience of interspecies hybridization. The artist uses this science-fiction inspired project to attempt to undermine stable conceptions of identity and to examine how hybrid identities emerge and transform through biological and cultural contact.

SAN DIEGO SURF viewed at the MOMA

2013-02-10T02:54:00.001-06:00

"San Diego Surf" was directed by Andy Warhol whom gave me a flashback of what it was like in the 60's on the beaches of San Diego. It was funny, quirky, elusive, and kind've disturbing but that's some of Andy's films for your own disliking. The MOMA's theater was packed, and I am not saying that I didn't like the film from our beloved 'Pop artist' icon. However, I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to ride the wave and get tanned like a 60's surfer, and listen to a bitter San Diego's housewife.

I and Sung Min Lee were in the same studio residency at Chashama studios, and now we have begun good friends through art, and conversation. She has been creating installations for few years now. This project, "Connected" was researched, and developed by taking photos of strangers' belly buttons around New York City specifically tourists, and locals at Washington Square Park. She has shown at Space Womb Contemporary Art Gallery which is located across the street from the MOMA PS 1.

When did you begin to draw your works?
I started drawing as early as kindergarten such as doodling mega zords and to stick figures of my family, started branching out to cartoons in second grade.

What art school did you attend?
I attended the Art and Design High School in Manhattan. My talents are mostly self-taught but with the exception of some lessons learned from other schools.

Which medium do you prefer?
I enjoy all mediums. I mostly preferred to use pencil, and it's the most flexible and easily accessible.

What's your favorite item which brings inspiration to you?
I like to take inspiration from everything but my favorite source is cartoons. I'm a big kid at heart.

Are you a day or night artist?
I'm an everyday all day artist and I draw all the time and anytime.
