Once Upon
an Artist
At what point in my life and artistic career can I begin to call myself an artist? If I become an artist, can I ever lose that status? Once Upon an Artist is the whole of the Master’s thesis exploring issues in self-identifying as an artist, and proposes the idea that the correct vocabulary and context (in this case – academic) is all that is required to call oneself an artist. The work consists of:
- Capsule
- Millenial Daybed
- miss you and think you’re great
- Artificial Artist (thesis)
