The Reclusive Artist Shaina Tranquilino November 1, 2024

When James Warren, once a celebrated painter known for his vibrant landscapes and stirring portraits, lost his vision to a rare degenerative condition, his world darkened beyond the physical. His studio fell silent, canvases collecting dust, brushes stiffening with old paint. Each day felt like an echo of his past life, a life he could no longer touch. The colors that once danced at his fingertips now existed only in distant memories.

In his isolation, James became a reclusive figure, living alone in the creaky old house at the edge of town, rarely stepping outside. He navigated by touch, fingertips gliding along walls and furniture, feeling for familiarity in a sightless world. As his eyesight faded, so too did his sense of purpose, leaving him hollow, adrift in a silent, colorless void.

Then, one autumn afternoon, a timid knock echoed through his empty house.

Standing at the door was a young woman clutching a sketchbook to her chest. "Mr. Warren," she began, voice trembling slightly, "I’m Marin. I study at the art academy. I heard about your…situation, and I thought maybe—well, maybe you’d like some company. I could read to you or…or describe things, if you’d like.”

James hesitated. He hadn’t had a visitor in months, perhaps years. But there was something in her voice, a softness he hadn’t heard in ages, that touched him.

“Alright,” he said, opening the door wider, unsure if he was ready for what this might bring.

In the days that followed, Marin became a part of his routine, her gentle voice filling the void that had settled over him. She’d describe the world outside—the warm hues of the autumn leaves, the textures of the evening clouds, the golden light filtering through the trees. Her words painted pictures in his mind that felt almost tangible, and in these shared visions, a new type of art began to form. It wasn’t the paint he once knew but rather images that lived solely within him.

One day, Marin brought her sketchbook and a few blank canvases. She placed a brush in his hand and said, “Let me be your eyes. I’ll guide you.”

Together, they embarked on an unspoken journey. Marin would position his hand on the canvas, her descriptions soft but vivid, leading him across imagined landscapes. She’d say, “Imagine a field, speckled with wildflowers, colours like…like faded memories but still vibrant at the edges.” James would nod, letting his fingers trace shapes in broad strokes. He relied on her entirely, surrendering to her interpretations, trusting her eyes to give his inner visions form.

As weeks turned to months, they created a series of paintings that caught the attention of the local art community. News of the reclusive artist’s return to work spread. People were intrigued, not only by the works but by the story of the bond between the young student and the man who could no longer see.

Then, one evening, as they finished another piece—a somber ocean scene, inspired by the way Marin described the undulating waves of their town’s shoreline—James turned to her, feeling something he hadn’t felt in years: gratitude. His heart swelled with a profound realization. He hadn’t just regained his sense of creation; he’d gained a connection deeper than sight.

“Thank you, Marin,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “I thought I’d lost everything. But you’ve given me back…so much more than I could’ve hoped.”

Marin smiled, taking his hand gently. “Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Warren. I may have been your eyes, but you’ve taught me how to truly see.”

In the end, James’ vision remained lost, but his life had shifted. Through Marin, he had found a new way to see—a kind of sight that transcended the physical. And in that, he found peace, a quiet joy that glowed in the darkness.

Webs

I have started committing fully to the process of, while I am reading a book or into a topic, creating a web of each element that interests me via Clip Studio.

This formed, like many academic practices, as a solution to a problem. I wanted to see which ideas/people/events were linked to each other, and by making the connection, what new ideas emerged. Sort of like doing chemistry in the dark, I would grab two elements on different sides of the spider diagram, and ask the question ‘how are these connected?’.

Sometimes, there is none, or at least none that do not make me come across as someone rambling to themselves on the bus. Though, when there are, its impossible to un-see the connections.

Originally, this process was done with mostly my (digital) notes, with some multimodal elements such as screenshots.

What stopped me from embracing this type of learning method in the past was 2 primary concerns.

Searchability: with this type of web, there is no ‘ctrl + f’ to quickly find specific words or themes, meaning that for a quick reference it does not do as well as a word document. Though, I have come to learn that this is its strength. By looking at the web, and following its connections, new ideas are continuously forming with each inspection. In a way, it is a living document.

Finite Space: since these files exist as images, there is a limit to how large they can become. This is due to: the time it takes to save an image causing potential corruptions/crashes, what file types it can be saved as becomes reduced as the file size increases, space between connections becomes too compact. Etc.

There are solutions to the finite space problem, such as using an alternative software that is built for spider diagrams, but that always tends to result in some form of freedom-restriction, e.g. dealing with its method of classing/hierarchy, not having certain mediums allowed.

Also, from an authorship standpoint, using these systems felt less me. Less personal. I want to be able to doodle, be silly, or include images of people and concepts on tangentially related without the entire system feeling off.

Then, something happened to me which had not happened before. I realised, that a lot of my works, from lots of separate university modules and projects, had two shared elements — the theme of chance, and the medium of film. As such, I decided to write a PhD proposal looking into a merging or these 2 domains.

With this, I had to write a 6000 word piece in a short time, so I did not have as much time to prep and make a new web like I normally would. So, I instead looked at all of my previous webs I had made in the past. To my surprise, I was making connections between different webs, and a new meta-web formed. This, in effect, pulled the bandage off of worrying about sticking to one shared web with everything.

...

When reading around ‘chance’, I had stumbled upon the nouveau réalisme movement. It sounded interesting, so I did something relatively new to me, and I just started a new document looking into the same topic of ‘chance’, but from a different place. Rather than writing out my ideas first, I copied and pasted multiple Wikipedia articles.

When I read about an artistic work that sounded interesting, I would look it up and paste it in for extended context. Same with locations, publications, etc. It moved more away from word connections, to a type of Dada collage of things.

...

Now, when it comes to reading a book, I do the same thing as the Wikipedia articles.

Read the work

Create Physical Note

Insert both ‘the book’ and ‘the physical note’ into digital web.

Make connections between concepts within web.

Create digital notes around the nature of the connections, as well as include other image elements where appropriate.

...

I’m sure this process will evolve further in the future, but I am having a lot of fun with it.

I hope this maybe gave you some ideas of how to manage theme connections. Let me know if you have any thoughts regarding this!

Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995

Tracey Emin, Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 (1995). Fabric, embroidery.

In the constellation of contemporary art, Tracey Emin's provocative oeuvre serves as a beacon of personal and feminist exploration. Among her many works, Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 (also known as The Tent) stands out as a landmark in the journey of autobiographical and feminist art. This post delves into Emin's iconic piece through the lens of art history and a woman's perspective, unravelling the layers of intimacy, identity, and rebellion.

Introduction to The Tent: First unveiled in 1995 at the Minky Manky exhibition at the South London Gallery, Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 is a small tent appliquéd with the names of everyone with whom Emin had shared a bed until that point in her life. The list includes lovers, family members, and friends, encapsulating a range of intimate encounters beyond the sexual connotation the title might suggest.

Form and Structure: The tent, a humble and transient shelter, is transformed into a vessel of profound personal narrative. Its domestic, almost fragile nature contrasts with the boldness of the revelations within. The inside of the tent is a sanctum, each name meticulously handcrafted, inviting viewers into a private emotional landscape. The choice of a tent as the medium challenges traditional art forms, aligning with feminist art practices that embrace everyday objects to convey complex narratives.

Textual Interplay: The interplay between text and textile within the tent creates a rich tapestry of stories. Each name, carefully stitched, is both a confession and a declaration, marking a departure from impersonal art forms. This interweaving of textuality and materiality foregrounds the feminist emphasis on the personal as political, challenging societal norms around privacy, sexuality, and emotional expression.

Autobiography and Identity: Emin's work is unabashedly autobiographical, a hallmark of feminist art that seeks to reclaim the female narrative from the margins. The Tent serves not just as a recounting of personal history but as a reclamation of agency over one's body and relationships. It reflects a broader feminist discourse on the ownership of female identity and sexuality, pushing back against patriarchal structures that seek to define and confine women's experiences.

Collective Experience: While intensely personal, Emin's tent also gestures towards the collective. By including not only sexual partners but also relatives and friends, the work broadens the conception of intimacy. It suggests a shared human experience, resonating with feminist principles of solidarity and the breaking down of public/private dichotomies. Emin's inclusivity invites reflections on the interconnectedness of relationships, both fleeting and enduring, in shaping one's identity.

Reception and Legacy: Upon its debut, Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 garnered attention and controversy, emblematic of Emin's career. Some critics dismissed it as narcissistic exhibitionism, while others hailed it as a breakthrough in feminist art. Its destruction in the 2004 Momart warehouse fire only amplified its mythos, preserving its status as a touchstone for discussions around feminist art and personal narrative.

Stitching Connections: What's Your Story? Inspired by Tracey Emin's journey of intimacy and connection, I invite you to reflect: If you were to create a piece symbolizing your personal connections, what form would it take? Share your ideas and the stories behind them, as we explore the art of living through the lens of our shared and individual experiences.
