Normal, OK: Caffey Strong. Mixed media on MDF, 2008
Caffey Strong, 35, is the piano accompanist at the Blue Belle's Academy. She is also an accomplished avant-garde composer, largely unknown at home but gaining notoriety among college radio audiences. Her latest work is titled "Con/text: Handless Compote for Altered Piano." Caffey inherited her dextrous fingers from her father, Arnett Strong, a locksmith.
Caffey was created using the acrylic gel transfer method detailed here and here.
