Alzheimer's Iron Soap Dish Project
Alzheimer’s Iron is a multi-step,
cross-generational art project that will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.
The project is made up of four steps: production of artwork by elderly
community members, interpretation and rendered sculptures by iron castors, and
gallery shows that culminate in an auction of the featured art pieces.
Concurrently we will be educating the community (and the project participants)
about Alzheimer ’s disease, creating art with older individuals and metal
casting.
In this
division of the Alzheimer’s Iron Project, we are looking at Alzheimer’s as washing
away or cleansing. Cast Iron artists from around the nation are invited to cast
and finish a soap dish(es), which will be auctioned off with proceeds going directly to the Alzheimer’s Association.
If you are willing to donate to the
Alzheimer’s Iron project you would be responsible for casting one-three cast
iron soap dishes and finishing them by August 15th and shipping them
to:
Rosemarie
Oakman
10
Cindy Ln.
Wappinger’s
Falls NY 12590
The soap dishes should accommodate an
average household size bar of soap.
You can incorporate other mediums into
your soap dishes but they should be primarily cast in iron.
All the soap dishes will be waterproofed
upon arrival; they will then be photographed and displayed on our website ending
in an auction in November.
Artists are encouraged to send us a link to their website or blog, which we can then link to the page featuring their soap dish.
THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Breakfast of Champions
I
think I am trying to make my head as empty as it was when I was born onto this
damaged planet fifty years ago.
I suspect that this is something most white
Americans and non-white Americans who imitate white Americans should do. The
things other people have put in my head at any rate do not fit together nicely,
are often useless and ugly, are out of proportion with one another, are out of
proportion with life as it really is outside my head.
I
have no culture, no human harmony in my brains. I can’t live without culture
anymore.
