Tool Book Project Volume III: Work Book Launch Party and Panel Discussion

The third volume of The Tool Book Project, organized by faculty member Sarah G. Sharp launches tonight at the Block Gallery. This volume, Workbook features work by AP faculty member Jacquelyn Strycker and alumni Elissa Ecker (‘16), Alexandra Hammond (‘15) Giulia Mangoni (‘19) and TANGA! (Rachel Chick, Andrew Prieto and Alfredo Travieso, all class of 2014).

Elissa Ecker, who hails from rural Minnesota, currently resides in Bangkok. She has been living in Asia for 7 years, arriving in Thailand by way of Korea and China. Her practice has evolved with each country traversed, by way of painting she has arrived at a more interdisciplinary practice, including video, writing, net-art and object making. Ecker’s work, often wry in execution, criticizes the construction of the feminine persona: wondering what a world would be like if every woman was seen as more than a fancy layer cake to be devoured.
