Kuru Kuru

I fear this fabulous installation will close soon and I am just now getting around to writing about it.  The pictures say it all.

Persia Bravin and Morgana Nagorski teamed up to do a nice feature on me and my art.  What a way to welcome the New Year!!!

Suspicious Mountain Revisited

In June I unveiled what I thought might be my last Primagery series called Suspicious Mountain.  Then I was asked to exhibit more of my work at a couple of other galleries.  I had already compiled a retrospective at the Mexico gallery so what was I going to do that was new and interesting?  I went through my inventory of pictures and decided to resurrect the Suspicious Mountain prim sculptures and see what else I could find.  I put them all together, retextured them, spun them upside down and all around and took about 30 shots - not necessarily of suspicious looking mountains.  Out of all those shots, there was one that stood out - and it had that suspicious looking mountain in it.  It will be auctioned off at the Artisan Castle on Friday as a one-of-a-kind.  I think its beautiful.  Here is a reproduction.

Many of my textures were created by Jewel MacMoragh when we were partnered and before she left SL.  The irridescent texture you see in the landscape above makes this piece a winner.

The September Round - UWA

So...I'll miss the UWA challenges each month. :( There is one more but I don't have anything to submit/ Two of my works are in contention for the Grand Finale: "Spatial" and "Here Comes the Sun" On this Sunday, "Primscape Dream" has won something, an honorable mention perhaps, I don't know. UPDATE: Primscape Dream won 2 prizes!!! I'm truly proud of my work. Its original to Second Life and cannot be duplicated in RL. Theres a nice blog about it...although it is misnamed. Chronocules...?

Hope Mountain

I started out making this Hope Mountain for a Relay for Life plot but I got booted off the project. Instead, I continued the idea for submission into the UWA 3D Competition for July. It is now an immersive non-scripted entry. Climb up to the top, if you can. :)

Rauschenberg Revisited

My friend Jewel is a photographer. She's got a show of her work in NYC. The images she presents are of current pop culture which reminds me of the great Robert Rauschenberg's "combines".

"....Apropos of Mr. Rauschenberg, Cage once said, “Beauty is now underfoot wherever we take the trouble to look.” Cage meant that people had come to see, through Mr. Rauschenberg’s efforts, not just that anything, including junk on the street, could be the stuff of art (this wasn’t itself new), but that it could be the stuff of an art aspiring to be beautiful — that there was a potential poetics even in consumer glut, which Mr. Rauschenberg celebrated."
