Make Music With Us

Make Music With Us is a music app-based intervention to engage and collaborate with the public in the hopes the audience finds it therapeutic and a creative outlet. When viewers scan the QR code found on the poster, it brings them to a music app where they can create and record music using the available sounds. You can also engage with the piece through this link: http://erinmanifold.com/QRCode/

Flip Book

This book is a flip book of a scene from the movie Sabotage directed by Alfred Hitchcock. This scene displays a woman watching an animated movie in which a bird is shot by an arrow. This scene is meant to foreshadow the woman later killing her husband. I choose this scene not only for its context but also for the fact that i could create a movie within a movie within a book that the viewers can animate themselves.

Crush(ed)

Crush(ed) is a compilation of ten poems from Richard Silken’s poetry book Crush wherein the words in the poems have been compared to the lyrics from songs with the same or very similar titles. For the songs with titles that are not the exact same as the poem title, the song title appears in brackets after the poem title. Only words and punctuation that are found in both the poem and song are included to create new poems.

Like Kandinsky

This book has elements taken from a note my father wrote me in a German art book Der Blaeu Reiter (The Blue Rider) and close ups of the Kandinsky painting on the cover of said book. It is a contemplative look at the relationship between the specific handwritten text, and non-contextualized pieces of painting. Through this, it evokes memory, nostalgia, and a confusing relationship between text and image (to depict my complicated feelings about them).
