Baker Artist Portfolios

Double Barrel was a solo show exhibition held at Space 1026 in Philadelphia. Double Barrel is consisted of two installations and a group of paintings. The Worm, being the main installation piece, and the Human Anatomy (Male + Female). All panels are cut out by a jig saw, and sand it down with 100 tooth sand paper, primed, and painted with acrylic + latex paint.

Mole-Balls is an interactive sculpture game built around the concept of Whack-A-Mole. Two teams. One team attacks by throwing rocks, knifes or grenades at the other team, the Moles. The moles, are represented by human beings from the other team wearing a mole-face bicycle helmet. The moles job is none other than to stick their heads through an array of painted boards with holes cut out of them, and hold still, so the other team could inflict mortal damage.

GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST, PLUCK IT FROM HER BREAST

Originally conceived of and performed at Püss Füst 2010, Get It Off Your Chest, Pluck It From Your Breast is an interactive performance that invites participants to explore notions of shame and the body.

Get It Off Your Chest is a collaboration between Hannah Brancato, Kendra Hebel, and Sarah Tooley.

The piece was a part of Transmodern Festival's Pedestrian Services Exquisite, the International Drag King Extravaganza 2010, and the 14 k Cabaret in fall 2010.

All the garden bistro sets I created prior to this one were basically frames to hold my painting which was the table top. As an artist I need to constantly continue the ascent from the bottom of the muddy pond; and so "Dragonflies Ascend Water Lily" was born. It represents the next level in my interactive functional furniture metamorphosis, creating a bistro table that is truly a sculptural piece too!

"A Cicle of Butterflies' is all about metamorphosis! Mine, my art and this particular furniture project. Mine, from a child artist, to a business woman and back to a full time artist during the last 16 years. My art, from a landscape artist to a visionary artist collaborating with family and friend artists. And finally, a beat up and discarded wicker furniture's metamorphose into "A Circle of Butterflies". The vision of butterflies circling the table top came to me the moment I saw the old table.

The Temporary Nature of Ideas was a large scale, participatory and performative installation. It was first presented as a site-specific piece at the 2009 Transmodern Festival, and was subsequently mounted as a solo show at School 33 Art Center in  2010. 

Viewer/particpants were presented with the following promt:

An installation of nylon string.

The room has a 8' high "ceiling" of string that morphs into something more organic towards the back of the room. There are Steps that the viewer can climb and get eye level with the flat plane of string. This is were it becomes evident that the flat plane of string that creates a sort of ceiling actually curves and the organic forms in the back of the room reveal their true depth from the elevated height.

Installation is set up in studio.

Step right up, chills, thrills, games of chance and kill! Carnival-style installation & performance with 4 interactive coin operated electronic arcade games and night time freak show stage performances at Artscape 2010. Games featured are Zombie Brain Toss, Wheel of Misfortune, Baba Yaga (fortune teller) and Unnatural Mysteries. Shows featured psychic surgery by Dr. Apocrypha P. Necrosis, live thaumography with Cyrus Macabre,, Ratgirl and Fishboy, and the Rev. Sinister Twitch contacting loved ones beyond the veil.
