Eye 'n' I of the Storm .... The exhibit

Arcata, California My inspiration, the power of the wind that knocked these trees down. It was a west wind blowing. My thoughts, to create shields, wind shields, with a Pacific Oceanic feel. Also, I carved discs with welded metal stands on the right, One Drop, Left, Wave. AND some oceanic poles.
With spirals, I played with the negative space and light, resulting in some nice shadows on the walls, a great suprise. A woman interested in buying it, pointed out the shadows. She's also is a midwife, she said it makes her think of the development of a life form.
The next step for the artwork... to possibly join another show, produced by a woman involved with the meterological society who also documented the 2005/6 storm with tons of photographs, including aerial photographs and a short film. The exhibition will also include interactive science and theatre.
Very thoughtful Jessie. I love the piece with neg space and spirals at the bottom of the page, very excellent and wispy. Thanks for the goodies, best wishes always. You are leading the revolution! Ross

your work is indeed an inspiration, jessie. i enjoy the abstract and would enjoy time in their presence. the resultant shadow display has taken hold in the right side of my brain and i'm looking forward to adding it to my work. i live by candle light and love the chiara scuru (sp.?) effect on my carvings. thanks for the work you do
