The Goldfish one is the best, surprised you didn't name it "Peak Oil".

Is the sand writing just on the floor, unprotected? Looks like it would take a lot of patience to write that all out in sand.

p.s. The first one I like, just as a photograph.

thanks nuke. i do too.

yes, it is unprotected and exposed to the elements. the sand writing is essentially inspired by the buddhist mandalas which are destroyed upon completion.

the actual writing was 12 hours straight shot start to finish (+ the 3 hours that i invested before the first screwup for a grand total of 15) - an interesting note...the shadow is cut out of the text creating the illusion that it is covering it.

thanks all : )

thrawn... they don't have fish hatcheries there? Maybe not exactly the same but close enough. I guess if you live in an apartment in a city anything seems amazing.

Think I`ll stick to my brewing art.
The bubbling sound of the airlock on the fermenter as sugar is converted to alcohol , to me, represents the ever changing of man and his environment. One resource used to promote another.
The flow of beer into the bottles at racking time represents the flow of nature and it`s continuing , never ending process.
The waitng time of the beer in the bottle for the brew to prime and finish represents the constant ongoing of mankind , always waiting for a new adventure.
The sound of the carbonation pressure hissing from the bottle as a cap is lifted represents.................. HOT DAMN it`s time for a brewsky.

Nothing personal JB88, but I hate it; I hate all of that artsy fartsy installation crap. I will give you credit for one thing however; you’re not trying to explain some deep meaning behind you work. I hate it when artists try to explain that their making some important statement; whenever they do that they have completely failed. Art, like a good joke should not have to be explained. Artspeak makes me cringe.

to each his own eskimo. no offense taken. i am secure enough to handle the criticism...believe me, i have had worse. hate is a very small word.

and yes, i agree, art should never have to be explained. it does ruin it.

installation art is only a part of what i do but i consider it to be some of my more interesting sculptural work. of course it is not everyone's cup of tea (as many things are not mine) and i would probably be disheartened if everybody liked it.

on the other hand, i have been pleasantly surprized and encouraged in some cases.

i had some very interesting conversations about it on private channel in the MA last night.

p.s.-

i am certain that lasz had something interesting to say, but he has been ignored and shall remain ignored for all eternity. so i guess that i will just have to suffer through missing the profundity of his intellectual density for yet another round. gee. bummer.

(got to admit...it was tempting at first to peek...but then i realized that it was so much more satisfying to just let him speak into his private little wall...its easy now...and deeply rewarding...i highly recommend it.)

Lazs said that he liked your fish work but thought that the unfinished gallery took a bit away from it. He also wondered how the fish were fed.

the top part of each aquarium has an opening in the back to feed them and to add filtration at night for the duration. i learned my kharmic lesson early on in my career about such things.

another similarly styled piece in the same series has a plexiglass tank (instead of 1/4 glass)... a terrarium composed of a pot of grass seed planted in ph balanced soil and nurtured by an IV watering system, a daylight spectrum lamp, air flow and filtration...

oh, and a full powered weed eater blade spinning two inches above the surface of the pot with an occulus focused on and magnifying the gap between the growing grass and the spinning blade. it is called "a utopian device"

dont have an image on this hard drive, (not at home at present) but it is another of my favorites...perhaps i'll post it sometime.

JB88 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 29, 2005, 12:46:26 PM »

thanks spade...no problem 'tall,

having a really hard time seeing it right now though spade cuz i'm sitting outside and the ambient light reflected makes it really hard to see much more than text on the screen. (ive got the contrast waaaaay up.) (it's a beautiful day here today...)

i'll check it out when i get home...what i can see looks good...particularly the breaking clouds and is that a zero in the background?

i'll get back to you when i can look at it more clearly and see some of the technical stuff.

christ greencloud, can you say contrived cliche'? (you need to quit art school and start a nationalist socialist party...youll be much happier.)

i used to make silverware art at denny's late at night back in 91-92 or so.

the largest stood just over 2 feet and had some 150 forks alone in it, not including spoons and knives

noone had digital cameras back then, heck noone had cell phones LOL

too bad all that is lost, was a caffine / ciggarette fueled weird thing.

i am sure that your waitress just LOOOOOVED You!

I really like 'solitude'. That'd make a great print. I'm still not sure what I think about 'gravity', I don't dislike it... but... it's not a work I'd go out of my way to see. The mouse contraption.. I don't like it at all. I understand it, I just don't think it's on par with the first 2. Great work overall though, definately be interested in seeing a few more.
