ifish

the ifish form was first constructed in sl as a give away to commemorate the opening of Oyster Bay Sculpture Gallery and Aquatic Display owned by Morris Vig.

Since then I have played with the shape and applied it to this carving in rl. Made of soapstone with a base of alabaster it stands about 20 inches high and is quite heavy.

First Nations Dancers Series - first look

As many folks of european descent I have been fascinated by American First Nations spirituality and art, even moreso when I came to live on the coast of British Columbia and saw for myself the incredible carvings both ancient and modern created by the many coastal tribes. The logo for my Peacefools Galleries shows one of my RL carvings greatly influenced by the forms and lines of the rainforest artists.

In this tableau, just installed at Oyster Bay. I present 3 dancers in somewhat fanciful masks and hand adornments representing the sky - Eagle Dancer, the earth - Bear Dancer and the sea - Orca Dancer. The beautiful geometric lines that prims afford seem to me to blend magnificently with the simple graphic shapes that echo this amazing style of art called Coastal First Nation.

If you have not stood at the base of an ancient "totem" pole that is covered with lichen and moss with mighty cedars towering around you, and the sound of the forest playing its symphony .... I heartily recommend it.

Hairy and Prize

Believe me, trying to make prim sculptures that resemble sl avatars was not the easiest thing to do but here at Cheenco we aim to please so on I forged and created these two statues for my clients Hairy and Prize who operate several sims.
