A Poor Imitation

A quick comparison of the first sentence in Wikipedia between Bruce Conner and Alexandra Grant and the words that stand out to me of all the things he has done and that Grant is also trying to do are film, drawing, sculpture, painting, collage and photography. After seeing that her shadow photos are a poor imitation of his, I cannot help but thinks that Conner was someone that Grant tried to emulate. Just like Reeves was a target, Grant was aiming to be like Conner but she didn't want people to know because we would see that she is nothing but a poor imitation of everything that he was.

There is no way that Grant has never heard of Bruce Conner or has not seen his shadow photos. This man is ICONIC. He was living in San Francisco and was a big part of the the counterculture revolution. His work was in the San Francisco Museum. Grant received her MFA, Drawing and Painting from the California College of Arts and Crafts, which is in San Francisco. I bet that he was a topic of discussion in her classes and she was probably required to visit or see his work. He was still alive when she was getting her MFA. 

Bruce Conner had also lived in Mexico, just another thing Grant has in common with and would have heard of him.

I'm beyond speechless that she pretends she receives inspiration for Shadow from a quote that has nothing to do with the photos or Keanu Reeves' poetry. After all the lies she has told, I have no doubt that everything she has said about Shadow is nothing but lies. She even contradicts herself about the process for the photos in interviews. I will discuss that in another post.
