New: FINAL Bio for Zine

Name: Gin Sparrow
Role within Team: Producer, communication, event hire, documentation 
Skills and Interests: 3D modeling and sculpting, texturing and traditional art making (pencil, charcoal, pen)
Explanation of work for exhibition (movie song choice, narrative of series, what each work depicts/expresses from the music)
  • Song: Gangsta by Kahlani from the Suicide Squad movie soundtrack
  • Narrative of series: A visual timeline of the Joker's and Harley Quinn's relationship, showing the stages, how they interact with each other and influence each other. My series shows the process of how they love each other and develop as a couple while facing the world. 
  • Each work depicts/expresses from the music: 
  • First Work: This piece is an introduction of the Joker's and Harley Quinn's relationship starting from a professional relationship to a forbidden love. I showed this juxtaposition of the two stages in a subtle playing card format with the professional relationship at the top of the piece and the love interest upside down. The professional relationship is the right way up to communicate that this should be the way their relationship should be and the upside down stage communicates that their relationship shouldn't be.
    Second Work: The second work in the series depicts another stage of their dysfunctional relationship. Harley Quinn is getting electric shocked by the Joker and is the reality of the start of their relationship. The top half of the work is the Joker and Harley Quinn in their traditional costumes dancing together. This is what Harley wants their relationship to be and maybe how she views it now. In the original series Harley's character was introduced as a narrative of abusive relationships. This physical abuse from the Joker and the reflected traditional costuming introduces this underlying theme of abuse Harley suffers at the hand of the Joker although she doesn't view their relationship in that way.
    Third Work: 
    In the third piece we only see the Joker and no Harley Quinn. The Joker is portrayed at his most insane moment. The lack of Harley Quinn communicates that the Joker is really only in this relationship because it benefits him. He is inside a huge laughing mouth that is upside to down to show his insanity and his mental illness.
