  • Master of Fine Arts Thesis Off the Wagon? Then Go to God
    Master of Fine Arts Thesis Off The Wagon? Then Go To god. Francesco Gattuso Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree of Master of Fine Arts, School of Art and Design Alfred-Düsseldorf Painting New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University Alfred, New York 2020 Francesco Gattuso, MFA Stefan Kürten, Thesis Advisor i Abstract Off the Wagon? Then Go To god, uses painted visuals to give a glimpse of what life looks like as a non-white person in a predominately white community. Francesco Gattuso draws upon Mediterranean folklore, customs, and mythology along with Abrahamic stories and high fantasy imagery to address issues of identity and being “other” within the United States. He utilizes mediums such as watercolor pencil and gold leaf to illustrate difficult content. Francesco Gattuso uses personal experiences, storytelling, illustration, and symbolism to address the complexities of identity, isolation, and misrepresentation. ii Acknowledgments First off I would like to pay a special thank you to my faculty here at Alfred University: Kevin Wixted, Thank you for taking me under your wing all those years ago and for being such a great professor, mentor, and at times even a paternal figure in my life. The lessons you’ve shared during many conversations over the course of many years will not be forgotten. Stephanie McMahon, You have been a constant source of tranquility throughout this whole tumultuous storm also known as Graduate School. Heidi Hahn, There has not been a single time where you have been anything other than yourself. Never afraid to speak your mind and say it how it is, you are full of a tenacity that is unmatched and unwavering.

  • Unfu*K Yourself: Get out of Your Head and Into Your Life
    Unfu*k Yourself Unfu*k Yourself Get out of your head and into your life. GARY JOHN BISHOP This book is dedicated to my three sisters; Paula, Elizabeth and Sandra, my mother Agnes and father, Patrick. We grew together, we cried together, we stood together and we fought together. I am who I am because of you. I acknowledge the downbeat and trodden, the single mothers and unemployed fathers, the dreamers and wannabes; I am you, and you can do it. Table of Contents 01 In the beginning… 02 “I am willing.” 03 “I am wired to win .” 04 “I got this .” 05 “I embrace the uncertainty . ” 06 “I am not my thoughts; I am what I do.” 07 “I am relentless.” 08 “I expect nothing and acce pt everything.” 09 Where next? Chapter 1 In the beginning… “This is a conversational slap from the universe to wake you up to your true potential, to unfuck yourself and get spectacularly into your life.” Have you ever felt like a hamster on a wheel, furiously churning your way through life but somehow going nowhere? All the while you’re caught in a loop of constant internal chatter and judgement that never stops, a little voice telling you that you’re lazy or stupid or not good enough. You won’t even notice the degree to which you believe it or are drained by it, you’ll just be spending your day working to overcome the stresses and strains, trying to live your life and at various points facing the resignation that if you can’t get your ass off this damned wheel maybe you are never going to get to where you want in life – maybe that happiness you’re after or that weight you want to lose or that career or relationship you crave will remain just out of reach.

Athena and Arachne Long ago when Greek gods and goddesses roamed the Earth, there lived 12 a young maiden by the name of Arachne who was known far and wide for 27 her skillful weaving. She could pull beautiful threads from fluffy wool and 39 twirl a spindle until it appeared to be dancing. The cloths she wove had 53 such magnificent patterns and images that women came from all over to 65 gaze upon them with wonder. 70 Those who saw her work said that surely she had been tutored by 83 Athena, the goddess of weaving. When Arachne heard this, she scoffed and 95 said she had taught herself. She even went so far as to claim that her skills 111 were superior to those of Athena, disrespectfully mocking the goddess by 122 declaring, “Let the goddess try to match her skills against mine.” 133 Now, it is a foolish thing to both mock and challenge the gods, 146 especially the Greek gods, but that did not stop Arachne, who was as 159 vain as she was talented.
