~Oeuvre D'art~

~Oeuvre D'art~

Posted by Smiley on 11/24/2006
*PREVIEW*
This is a project that was started on February 20-22 of 2006 between my friend N$#%,aka "J.A.G" During his last visit out.The first set of pix are from the prototype,the second are from the real piece-He's gettin' his self back out & we're gonna put paid to this thing finally!
The egg,by itself weighs approx.7-8 pounds-and is about an inch thick,but it has to be cold worked quite a bit.This piece will sit on a large solid tripod,that will also be cold worked.
The colors (on the finished egg)are layers of black violet,chocalate and butterscotch repeating.Coating is both powder and rod,layered over coiled B.V.so the whole thing is solid color.We burned a Lot of color on this.I think there's about 8 layers or more.
We burned about 3/4 of a liquid bottle!Froze a propane tank & reg.thought we broke the reg.had to let everything thaw out.So in January when The J.A.G gets here we're gonna bust out the rest of it-it should be pretty cool,if all goes well.
We'll see.
Peace...
Thanks for looking.

>>>>>> '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.<<<

*And a big shout to all those that have supported me & supported my Art along the way.
**Thanks to all the guys i used to work with and bounce ideas with in Boulder.
(H-Bomb,J.A.G.,Newman,Brother Willis,Pabilsag,Galactic T and everyone else that was there back then)
***Big Thanks to Everyone on this site for all the Inspiration and Influence and all the people that make it go 'round.

~Peace
