Final Project idea
I am sure I want to do an audio slideshow for my final project. I am very interested in interviewing Lynne Parks, and artist in Baltimore. She has an extremely rare disease and moved to Baltimore to be near Johns Hopkins. She is, as she says, "fascinated by decay," as that is what her body is essentially doing- and her artwork reflects that. She recently won a Baker award, a $1000 award from the Baltimore Museum of Art towards continuing and promoting her artwork for a recent project where she wandered through an abandoned mental health hospital in West Virginia and captured the decay throughout the building -think paint literally lifting off of the walls, light bulbs shattered...etc.-. She has agreed to speak with me, let me get audio, pictures...etc. I would expect the slideshow to include a background of her life, why she moved to Baltimore, the details (or as much as she will give) about her disease, and then get into her life as an artist, how she does her art, maybe follow her on a photo shoot one day? I expect the slideshow to run 3-5 minutes, depending on how much audio and pictures I get. It would be great to get maybe her doctor, roomates, family, friends...etc. to talk to me as well to include in the slideshow.
