BELLA VENDITELLO
LOCATION
Painting Cubicle. Annie Smith Centre, Sheridan College Trafalgar Campus, Oakville ON
Description of Project
The piece Cubicle is site-specific to my studio cubicle located at Sheridan college. In this piece I wanted to bring people into the mind space of the cubicle- illustrating the importance and emotional attachment I have to the space.
The piece is a spin off to Margaret Wise Brown’s highly acclaimed 1947 bedtime story Goodnight Moon. One of my favourite books growing up as a child- every time it was read to me I felt like I was in the room in which the story took place. I wanted to turn the listener into a viewer and walk them through my studio. The piece is very direct, no special effects, panning, and little editing. The piece is me directly speaking about the space saying ‘goodnight’ to the cubicle as I will be leaving it forever after graduation this year.
I think the sound piece, for me, did not go as planned. I love that cubical and I know I will never do it justice. My goal is that the piece begins to scratch the surface of the attachment I have to my cubicle, and how what I have learned in that space will never leave me.
