Woman Was The Word
A Multimedia Project curated by Absent Fever
I was asked to create a three
piece video and the album art for Woman
Was The Word: A Multimedia Project curated
by Absent
Fever. This
project focuses on the under-appreciated female artists across
all different mediums.
See the full project here: Absent Fever
"Woman Was the Word is a project envisioned in
observation of the nature in which women are present in the art
world, specifically in regards to music. We found that though
women are present, their presence is often unknown or
unrecognized. While most fields are male dominant, this may not
be entirely true in visual arts and music. Women are present, but
in a community like the blog community, the presence of their
talents can often go under-appreciated in the almost camouflage
nature of blogging. The idea of the project was to unveil and
illuminate the persistent talents of females whilst tying
together all aspects of this community. We asked three remarkable
female bloggers to write pieces, poetry, stories, about anything
that made them feel inspired to put pen to paper. The three
bloggers who participated were Holly of East to West, Katie
of Heavy
Percussion, and Nada of Friends With Both Arms.
Those three pieces they wrote were then interpreted by three
female musicians who we asked to make original songs inspired by
the writing. The three musicians who participated were Elizabeth
Rose(who’s song was inspired by Holly’s piece), Rachel
Levy (who’s song was inspired by Katie’s piece),
and Yohuna + Adelyn
Rose (who’s song was inspired by Nada’s piece). All
three songs were then sent to a female artist and
videographer, Heather Daniels, who
created one video for all three tracks. In result, we’ve received
art across all mediums that pay magnificent tribute to the work
of women in this world and we’d like to share it with you. You
can download the three songs here and
below are the three pieces written by the bloggers for the
project:
Elizabeth Rose- ” Throw Me To The Stars ” (Inspired by East to West)
Rachel Levy- ” Pierced “ (Inspired by Heavy Percussion)
Yohuna & Adelyn Rose- ” All The Slow Songs (Waiting) “ (Inspired by Friends With Both Arms)"
Thanks for the kind words:
