Ashley said the hold music for Nordstrom is great, and I trust her taste in music, so I listened for myself

Inspired by a prompt from Ari Mejia, the three of us (Ari, Erisa Apantaku, and myself) created three pieces under our interpretation of the exquisite corpse method of collage art-making.

Ariana Martinez created an accompanied digital zine to view while listening to the pieces, which can be downloaded here.

anticipating the dream house

just ephemeral corpses

lying next to you
