~Seascape # 3~

Posted by Smiley on 5/16/2006

This is the third Octopus Seascape piece in this series,...Props too Tim Lindemann for gettin my octopus techs.up to snuff...
This one is a 4 1/2 pound beast....
Sculptures sure do get heavy...13" tall X 6 1/2 wide...
The faceted piece was done by hand-on a lap wheel instead of a faceting machine so the cuts are simple and not quite perfect...two points were used for the entire hollow sections...
thanks for checkin this out ..pce.

>>>>>> '97 <<<<<<

" I suddenly became stangely inebriated.The external world became changed as in a dream.Objects appeared to gain in relief; they assumed unusual dimensions;and colors became more glowing .Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed.When the eyes are closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changing kaleidoscope. After a few hours,the not unpleasent inebriation,which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious,disappeared.What had caused this condition ?"
~Albert Hofmann, Laboratory Notes (1943)

>>>Thanks for checking out my Art.<<<

**Thanks to all the guys i used to work with and bounce ideas with in Boulder.
