Almost

[avad]

Ok, the pieces are almost done. I'm so stir-crazy...but I've got to finish.This is the last day to work on them. Got to finish the last marker work, wire them, repaint the edges, touch ups.
*deep breath* I've got a mini bottle of wine open now to hopefully help me relax enough to have my next cup of coffee. Brilliant, no? Don't answer.
SO here are some detail pics for you all of the madness I've been creating . All dealing in some way with suburban/mass desires and emerging architecures in cyberspace:
First one is called 'Private Waterfronts'. There are a bunch of those house/sparklegrass points throughout the piece.


Next we have 'Paradise Landing'


This is 'Rearranging Spaces', I think. I'm not sure of the title yet because I'm thinking of it more as a swirling biological process...akin to evolution in the primordial ooze;) but with our memories and desires taking form in cyberspace.


Detail of that piece, showing the lil 3D labyrinths..


And finally a shot one of the houses in 'Neighbors'. Here I'm getting a little wacky with detail. I'm not sure where to stop. This house is only partially 'furnished' right now..I still have to do the kitchen and other areas...but when I started adding tv sets and teddy bears in the other ones I got a weird not well feeling.;)The 3D effect is wokring quite well on this one with the layers. Wish i had time for another layer, but I don't.


In case someone new is reading, these are all done with layers of resin, paint, nails on wood.(and some glitter in the magic lawn areas).

three layers on most. I'd like to do even more layers, but on the other hand I don't want to work all the time with resin. Stuff is too toxic.

It's a strange show...the galleries rent out hotel rooms..and things are placed around.
I would like them to be able to be handled, so people could turn them and look at them from all different angles. They'll be wired so they CAN be hung on a wall vertically, but it's really up to the viewer for me. As you can see from my pics, I tend to look at them flat.

I've been to small galleries that had sliding walls full of art, kind of like those sliding closet doors, only sturdier.

Now you've reminded me of another wish-list project I'd almost forgotten: I used to dream about a table that had no compression elements at all, it was suspended from the ceiling, and tied to the floor with cables as well. When not in use, it would get pulled up flush with the ceiling.

But now with your flat pieces, I'm thinking about having 3 or 4 of them stacked in series, with the viewer able to raise and lower them at will. The cables would then loop down to the floor.


...or maybe not...

hee. I am planning table top pieces, but no complex cable system. Sounds like a neat concept, though...
