Hard Drive (Security Guard)

[Security Guard]

A woman's husband dies, or leaves, and she has to get a job as a truck driver

That doesn't diminish her femininity; she's trying to take care of her family

So these are real things that happened

Where you can apply these, these, um, important concepts

And understand that

When we lose our connection to nature

We lose our spirit, our humanity, our sense of self

We get further and further from that and we get to be Donald Trump

[Man]

Aw, man

[Cassandra Jenkins]

In conclusion...

Thank you

[Security Guard]

You're welcome

[Cassandra Jenkins]

Thank you for your passion

[Security Guard]

Also this space is a [?] building, and, um, very, uh, geometric shapes, very harsh edges, stone floors

Not very inviting for soft feminine sculptures

So what the curator and the designer did, they used soft flooring to speak to the softness

[Cassandra Jenkins]

Oh my God, I love that

[Security Guard]

Made the curtains which speak to the curves in the pieces

The curtains represent the, uh, hemp material that was used

Plus the pleading of the curtains give you a sense of movement in this very organic space and [?]

Plus, you have now a completely organic, holistic experience

From concept to manifestation

To movement around this very organic space

And here's something that she does so many spectacular things with this sculptures

Another things she does is, first she resolves the issue of, um, the understructure

Without the proper understructure, when you get to the weaving, the knotting, the macrame, it becomes very heavy and for it to hang correctly, it needs a proper understructure

[Man]

Right

[Security Guard]

So in the beginning her husband was helping her with the understructure

And she actually creates the pieces directly off of the, the substructure

No, um, sketches, she just works directly off of the structure

And, um, she, she's, uh, she's adding, whereas in the sculpture

[Cassandra Jenkins]

You're taking away

[Security Guard]

Yes

So now we have, um, in sculpture you have a masculine need which is warmth

You have a masculine technique which is chiseling

[Man]

Yeah

[Security Guard]

You have mostly men creating sculptures, so you get a uniquely masculine point of view from sculpture

And now we have a woman who's taking material, hemp material

Which is a feminine idea

Doing macrame, knotting, and weaving which is a feminine technique

Organically wound pieces

And she's creating, uh, a three-dimensional sort of sculpture

And the concept, looking into nature, looking into the Indian mythology and seeing the interchange of male and female attributes

So from the concept to manifestation to the creation of the pieces

You have a uniquely feminine point of view of soft sculpture

So now you have a holistic view of sculpture, you have an, an, you, you can't, and I'm not diminishing the male point of view

I think its important

You know, we have men, and we have women

But, you need to see both sides to get a complete picture

So now she's showing us from her female point of view

What soft sculpture [?]

[Cassandra Jenkins]

Thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you so much

[Security Guard]

I want you to fully enjoy it

Thank you for coming
