My cave for a day



Quite naturally and with great pleasure, this installation came together today.  As I continued not to think and analyze, I was instead presented with surprises, mysteries I could not explain and  laughter at some of my choices as I installed this morning and invited a small audience to experience the work.  Understandably, Paul felt it better not to invite the local villagers since they do not subscribe to image making and may find this room filled with human forms quite disturbing.

notice the figure in the upper left
In any case, here are some photos.  One of the powerful aspects of the installation was the sound created by the wind blowing the plastic, which covered the windows, as well as the constant changes in color and light intensity as the plastic moved, which you cannot experience in these photos, but at least they will give you images to spark your imagination.  I also want to sincerely thank Paul and Willemijn of the Babayan Culture House for their support in making this project possible and Aili Schmeltz a very talented artist and lovely person for taking the photos.

  4. It look so cool Michele. So many shapes, textures, colors. Bravo, it is very effective: both beautiful and though-provoking. And eerie too.

  5. Thank you Michele!
    I loved it.
    And I liked so much that nothing happened, nothing was provoked, and yet everything happened... at the same time. This makes very curious while watching.
    Compliments and thanks for your art contribution to the Babayan Culture House.
    Willemijn.
