Sculpture 46: "Mono no aware"

The meaning of the Japanese phrase "mono no aware" basically refers to a “pathos” (aware) of “things” (mono), deriving from their transience. The acceptance and celebration of impermanence goes beyond all morbidity, and enables full enjoyment of life.

"Flamenco" by Teal Freenote

This work has been created for an exhibition at the renovated Vista Hermosa Art Center (VHAC) in SL called "Sketches of Spain". It will be on display there beginning June 2012 for several months.

It was also featured near the main stage on the InWorldz Grid at the InWorldz Dance On- Dance Off Event mid-June to early July 2012. Now moved to the second level of Gallery Freenote InWorldz.

Psst - it moves - its two 2D images and a kinetic sculpture.

Raglan Artwalk 2012 Opens Sunday

Once again, Artwalk is about to begin. As Artwalk Director for the 4th year, I have been a busy tiger for several months. I am looking forward to the opening this year and all the wonderful creativity that will be on display.

The Raglan Shire ArtWalk 2012 opens Sunday May 6th, displaying the works of 147 artists over four sims in an outdoor setting in Second Life.  The show runs from May 6th through May 27th. 

Artists gridwide converge to exhibit their RL photography and artwork and SL photography and sculpture in this annual arts festival, hosted by the tiny community of the Raglan Shire sim cluster.

2D art of all kinds is exhibited along the hedgerows in the central area of Raglan Shire sim. SL sculptural works are exhibited among the trees and along the shores of the western half of Heron Forest in Heron Shire sim, in the parks on Morning Shire and Raglan Commons sim.  A special ArtWalk Retrospective is located in the Raglan Tree Gallery.  TP kiosks to the display locations are throughout the grounds of the festival.

A few of the many artists exhibiting are Sledge Roffo, Van Caerndow, Corcosman Voom, Cat Boccaccio, Betty Rogan, briawinde Magic, StarZ33 McCullough, Gleman Jun, Nessuno Myoo, Teal Freenote, Kicca Igaly, Revontuli Oh, Kicca Igaly and Carlotta Ceawlin.

Avatars of all shapes and sizes are welcome to visit the show during May and enjoy wandering these enchanting sims dedicated to tiny avatars.

Sculpture 43: "Kintsugi" by Teal Freenote

Sculpture 43: "Kintsugi" by Teal Freenote, a photo by Teal Freenote on Flickr.

"Kintsugi" (Japanese for golden joinery) is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with a lacquer resin sprinkled with powdered gold.

"When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful."
~Barbara Bloom
