Drink your poison yourself (16) Local Artist Brooch: I took images of Chris and his magnet mobile and turned them into wearable objects, put magnets on them and included them in this collection of fridge magnets all of which were taken from his car. Materials: bronze, aluminum, Lucite, photo images and glow in the dark acrylic. “Local Artist” Catastrophe, hardship, disaster. What would your response be to the loss of your home, your belongings, your job? Chris Cressione is a New Orleans artist who makes his living and supports his family as a waiter at one of my favorite restaurants, Gautreau’s. The restaurant has yet to reopen as of this writing in January 06 so Chris has spent the interim months being the house-husband to his wife, Lisa who works as a nurse. He takes care of his two children and has a lot of free time to work on his art. In an inspired fit of creativity he invented a use for all of the refrigerator magnets he saw being left on the refrigerators people had discarded and left on their curbs for FEMA to pickup and discard. He began collecting them and putting them on his car eventually covering every surface. 120,000 homes in New Orleans and the surrounding suburbs were destroyed by Katrina when the city flooded. All of their refrigerators are or will be out on the curb. Every other home in New Orleans (population 480,000) lost their refrigerators to the loss of power and the lengthy evacuation period. So we’re talkin’ probably a total of 250-350,000 refrigerators out on the curb. This was just too much material for Chris to ignore. Everyday, as he drove his kids to their schools and events he’d spot another fridge left out to be picked up and to his surprise the owners would also be discarding the magnets! Occasionally he’d run into the owner and ask permission to take the magnets. He was never denied. They loved what he was doing with them. Since then, he’s gotten a lot of attention for his project and a great article by Chris Rose in the Time Picayune. which is how I learned of his mission. I thought is was a perfect fit with my STORM CYCLE show because it demonstrated the resilience of our citizens, their sense of humor in the face of disaster and our hopes for the future.
