Artist Statement
When making this video I was keeping domestic violence in mind. The house hold kitchen knives were to signify the casual, every day nature of domestic violence and how it occurs inside households. The powder/substance in the video is flour and powdered sugar to reference the objectification of women and the slang terms women are described as (cake,pound cake). The placement of the knives around the small children's pool were used to represent being trapped.
The song I chose is Poison Oak by Bright Eyes. The song itself is about a family members addiction which resonates with me firstly because two of my siblings have struggled with addiction but certain lyrics stood out to me that I felt connected to this project. The song also has a melancholy feeling which I though suited the performance.
