So with the use of navigational tools for hurtling PJ through time, sea and water, I was very inspired by the ancient sea navigation tools that were used by mariners ages ago. How could something so simple as an astrolabe and the night sky be so influential in getting people where they had to to go by sea? Well, it wasn't that simple - it was intricate and the night sky and the day sky were easy to read if you knew how...
With that in mind - I developed a body of work using photography, movement and sculpture based around Pirate Jenny's navigational tools for sea and time travel. The use of reed and bamboo was a great carry over from my performance costume class as its flexibility allowed me to create 3D pieces that reflected my love and experience of movement and gesture. Of course in the spirit of anarchy, I took pictures right outside of the equally principled bookstore and coffeehouse Red Emma's. Check out some of the pics of me prepping for the shoot and sizing up my stuff.
