| This is a larger look at Mt Fuji Ballet Box I have been working to finish details on everything I am working on. Below is a photographic frenzy. If you click on the images they will be enlarged. This was taken this morning in my studio. |
Eggsistenial rumination in the temporary nature of artworks. I visited my favorite museum years ago where I saw a tour bus. On the destination sign it said, "Just Passin Through," which is exactly what I believe.

What are the mountains made of? What is in the bottom? What a marvelous box.....
The mountains are pieces of paper. I make digital painting on my computer or I do a "real" painting with traditional materials and then scan it into my computer. Then, I use Corel Draw to format the same image many times at the size I might want. Then, I print the paper. Then, as usual, I usually make origami or some sort of paper sculpture. I had the idea of Mt. Fuji Ballet because the last time I went to Asheville I bought these tiny black roses and I wanted to do a piece about some sort of performance art, as in Ballet. I cut this particular paper into circles and pleat folded it so that I would have the shape I wanted in order to make dancers, in an abstract sort of way. I thought the heads could be the roses because I could bend them and it could be like a jesture of conversation between the dancers. Then I arranged them and re-arranged them over and over and that is why this piece never gets finished. I plan to have the wooden center become a pedestal (higher) to add a stick like see through roof.
As far as it goes, it is getting there.
The floor of this is wooden. Of course, this is just a cardboard box that I designed to accomodate the idea I originaly had in my mind.
Unbeliavable...so creative...
A work of art.
Great. Thanks for all the info. I thought it was computer printed paper, but wanted to make sure. I love the thing about the roses! When I was a little girl,I had to dance in ballet shoes made of stretchy pull on house slippers. They were sprayed with silver spray paint and my Dad sewed pink ribbons on them. We couldn't buy ballet shoes in Venezuela..............
