BULIMIA TABLEAU

The gut reaction chair viscerally expresses bulimia’s binge and purge cycle. Grotesquely distorted, the full seat and back are bloated by all-consuming emotional and physical distress. The pattern on the fleshy upholstery fabric evokes eyes or even galaxies, but actually depicts a varied collection of belly buttons.
Bulimia and anorexia are complex, misunderstood disorders in which food is a coping mechanism for underlying psychological and physical issues. Still, the extreme attention to bodily perfection, dieting and unobtainable ideals of thinness that inundate contemporary culture act as triggers. While bulimics may perceive themselves as overweight, they often fall within ‘normal’ weight ranges, so unlike visibly underweight anorexics, they often can keep their condition secret. Out-of-control feelings (such as shame) lead to binges, which bulimics must then relieve by purging (which causes shame). According to NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness), 2-3% of adolescent women develop bulimia (twice the amount for anorexia). Like “Ana,” its sister disorder, this condition destroys bodies, families, lives—insidiously silent, it can also be deadly.
Our culture of excess upholds dangerous double standards: McDonald’s ads and Weight Watchers shrinking waistlines flash across screens so often we hardly notice. No one is immune to the pressures to consume.
Written ‘food journals’ are common treatment methods for eating disorders. What is in your food journal? Visitors may record their own private food notes on candy and bakery wrapping papers and stuff them into the opening atop the chair ‘gut.’ If your secret gets caught, push it down with the plunger… and watch it release out the back onto the blue disk. Plunk, it has joined the collective spill of secrets on the floor.
Un log cabin sous verre, rien de tel pour illuminer une chambre d'enfant ou un couloir tristounet !

Calvary is mentioned in the Bible as a hill, the place of the skull, Golgotha. Artists throughout history have strived to depict Jesus’ Crucifixion on Calvary in an attempt to bring to life one of the most famous moments in the Bible. Calvary scenes have appeared in cave art in Mona Island off the coast of Puerto Rico; in mosaic in the 4th century Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem; in many paintings of Brueghel, Rubens, Delacroix, et al.; in relleves or wood relief carved by early Christians in the Philippines; and in many other forms and mediums. In Spanish-era Philippines, the most affluent families would commission a tableau using very expensive ivory for the images, and then enshrine them in an elaborate wooden niche or urna placed on top of the home altar for veneration.
In this magnificent Calvary tableau, the Expirante Corpus or Expiring Christ in solid ivory, is captured in his last breaths, his head bowed in near collapse and face in dignified agony, his muscles tensed, and fingers twitching with varying degrees of flexion failure. His bleeding wounds incite pity and humility. St. John the Evangelist, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene are below the Cross, their faces in deep anguish. Their heads and hands are in ivory. All the ivory pieces have remained white, having been kept perpetually in glass. The Cross is in kamagong with lanite border inlays. The Cross mound and parts of the floor are blanketed with iridescent green wings and black bodies of salaguinto or green scarab jewel beetles found in the vast rice fields of central Luzon. The scarabs, the family to which the salaguinto beetle belongs, were revered by ancient Egyptians as a symbol of the Resurrection and the enduring human soul. The accoutrements on the figures, Cross, mound, and loin cover are 24k gold-filled silver painstakingly etched in early ysot technique. The lustrous glass backdrop is gilt in gold to simulate richly decorated brocade fabrics. Other smaller figures, vegetation, animals and objects in blown glass and shells surround the protagonists, and interestingly, there’s a glass fish pond in front. The huge Neoclassical-style urna is made from highly prized kamagong wood with a sunburst topper centring a round rosette finished in gold leaf. The lavish use of gold color makes this richly decorated tableau shine gloriously despite the somber subject. Very well-thought composition and masterfully executed.
The tableau was brought from Manila to Iloilo by the Apilañes family, owner of La Editorial Press, who lived in a house in Calle Sto. Rosario, which at the end of the 19th century became known as a residential area for upper class families. After the Second World War, the house – together with this Calvary tableau – was bought by Francisca Guidato Maravilla. Calle Rosario is one of the oldest and most historical avenues in the city of Iloilo, and has the most number of preserved heritage buildings in the whole province.
Provenance: Mrs. Francisca Guidato Maravilla of Calle Santo Rosario, Iloilo City
So last night, I cleaned my room and made sure all the clutter was pretty stuff,
like the painting of Lilith that Cat did, and the Paddington Bear that my biffle brought back from London for the dollies and I, and the maneki neko bank I bought the first time I went to NYC.
Instead of, you know.
piles of crap and papers.
:'D
And then I fell down and sprained my foot so badly that everyone in the ER was in awe that I didn't break anything :Db
I realized today that I have uploaded only 4 photos in the past 2 years. I'm not happy about that, so I decided to get my flickr account up to speed and do some clean-up. Today's upload is a series of what I've been up to the past two years; it has definitely been a whirlwind! Collaborations and commissions, many, many shows, and hundreds of stories along the way. I will do my best to not fall so far behind in the future, but for now, I would like to show my friends on flickr some of the highlights of the past two years. I hope you enjoy them.

This was one of my pieces in the Akin Free Library's "Meetings Past" exhibit in 2015. It's about 8 feet long, and the grid was scored with a friend's laser cutter. This was one of my first experiments in large-scale paperfolding, and I have since experimented with more of this. I will definitely continue this track!
