Jody Morlock “DIG” @ Clic
I’m at an opening at Clic Gallery of Jody Morlock tonight. As I write this, Jon Stewart, of the Daily Show walks in, I guess that tells me a little about the company I’m in.
In fact, that’s me with Jon Stewart, in the photo, below! What’s weird is the how Jon looks like he’s photo shopped behind me, but I’m actually holding his sholder. However, I suspect the reason why I appear distinct from Jon Stewart is that he projects a wall, due to his celebrity – I’m sure that’s it, and the camera picks it up.
I talked with the artist for a few minutes about her obession with numbers and writings on her photos.
Talking to Jody, it turns out her day job as a makeup artist for John Stewart, and he also collects her work.
Jody Morlock says her imagery comes lately from the photoshoots she does, the makeup work, and life in New York.
When I think of my life, now writing for VentureBeat.com, and for Entrepreneur.com, along with my industry blog, WebMetricsGuru, I feel blessed that I don’t have to find out where the party is, my life is the party, and it comes to me, especially when I just “be” and don’t try to make life be anything more than it is.
Getting back to Jody, I go back to her picture of “Lucky” and the other, “Naughty”, prints with writing all over them, but not the face. I asked her why she puts phone numbers and personal info in her photo paintings, and she mentioned there’s no bank accounts on her works, but there is interesting information in Jody Worlock’s work if you take the time to look … I did.
And you know what, she doesn’t usually paint the faces in her photo art, because that’s what she does for a living; however, there are works where she did …. Paint the face.
Jody Worlock … Glad I stumbled into your show.. And Jon Stewart, too.
