Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison
This couple that makes the art together always wins my vote. Their mixed media creations combine performance art with art that can be hung on the wall. The open ended narratives enacted in each of these images become a new canvas for the viewers imagination to run wild with the story they started for you. These images are romantically tragic. The character in the scenes are attempting impossible feats. The one where he is standing on stills ready to take flight with his man made wings always reminds me of children who are honestly trying to fly like peter pan as they jump off of something just a little too high for safety. He is expressing this same desire as a child would trying to honestly make the impossible happen.
The open narratives within these stories are great as well because I really get to make up my own story to why men are hanging from clouds with giant fish hooks. Its all terribly romantic and i want to look at these images all day and make up my own fairy tales to go with them.
