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.

Capsule - fibreglass installation

1. Capsule

Fibre glass

In the middle of the dark room - a large yellowish form. At first glance - it seems almost familiar. Large, cylindrical, but capped on both ends with hemispheres. The proportions so familiar, seen almost daily.. a pill! Yet there’s something not completely right - the form is too rough, too uneven. And then the color - somewhat see through, somewhat opaque - and with this strange yellowish tinge. The light catches each minor imperfection on the curved surface, but then past that - there’s something inside. Something… almost human?

Daybed - furniture installation

2. Millennial Daybed

Wood, foam, fabric, digital display

A contemporary furniture piece that challenges traditional notions of rest and productivity in the digital age. The daybed serves as both functional furniture and conceptual commentary on modern living spaces.

Arduino, Thermal Printer, Coin-acceptor, Receipt paper, plinth

A white rectangular plinth with a coin slot stands in the room. For 20¢, visitors receive a printed receipt containing fragments of personal conversations - intimate messages exploring connection, distance, and digital communication. The mechanical act of inserting a coin and receiving a printed message transforms private digital exchanges into physical, collectible artifacts.

"I'm not going to ask you to change for me"

"Honestly I just want to ask - are there any chances to keep this alive?"

4. Artificial Artist (thesis)

Written thesis document, 2021

The theoretical framework examining the construction of artistic identity through academic discourse. The thesis argues that the vocabulary and institutional context of art education are sufficient conditions for claiming the identity of "artist" - questioning the boundaries between becoming, being, and performing the role of an artist.
