Daphne Arts has put together an interesting installation of its artists’ work.  Some of it is monochromatic; some is not.  All of it is striking.  While it’s memorable, I think Ally said it best.  I do not recall her exact words.  But it was something like ‘the art is fascinating, but, I can’t imagine wanting it on the walls at home… ever….”

All the same, it is unique enough that I wanted to share a few photos taken there:

When you arrive, the artists leave it to the wanderer’s discretion which way to go first.  We chose to go toward the stairs.  Taking a side view of the geometric pattern used for the stairs, this photo is called Sidestepping:

At the top, there is a  tree woman sculpture that I ran through a filter to obtain this:

Amazingly, the Second Life virtual platform allows for weather and it can be manipulated to a degree.  In this instance, it was a little difficult to capture, but there is a very interesting monochromatic effect even to the passing clouds that hover over the installation:

Throughout the work, there is a mirrored effect.  This particular piece was entitled “Destruction”.

Along the bottom of the stairs and on a sort of grid-like platform are various geometric forms.  Each of these must be walked inside with some offering resistance and in these are artworks by multiple artists.  I will confess that I was too busy talking and flirting with Ally to write down the individual names.  And no, I would not ever choose to do anything but to pay attention to what she has to say first and foremost.  Other than my princesses, she is my world.  So, I apologize and urge those interested to find and investigate this artwork.

In the interim, this work is in a space labeled Delirium.  I chose to call my take on one of the works with the walls, The Hallucinations of Delirium:

Each of the shapes is filled with artworks and it’s sort of like biting into a morbidly fascinating box of chocolates.   You never know what you will get.  But, I promise that each of these is unique and very worthwhile seeing.  One more of these is one called, “Cupio dissolvi”.

There are many more works there and the overall installation is constructed in a curious way that is worth seeing.  Just be careful of your step on one part of the installation.  It has been said that it’s a long way to the top if you want to rock-n-roll right?  Well, the voice of experience now tells me it’s just as far to the bottom.  … especially when free falling from 30,000 foot without a parachute.  (There are some advantages to Second Life….)   😉
