Wow, I missed this entire thread @holoz0r and @nineclaws 😳
BTW this post has now more comments than likes, and I don't think I actually can claim any of the credit here:)
Thank you @holoz0r for tagging me. Took me 'a second' to catch up:)
Not sure of material of an angel sculpture - can you upload picture again? When I opened pic few minutes back - it was working, and now I am getting only like 1/4 of top part of the pic. It can be either resin mixed with marble dust, or an actual marble. I would have to see thing up close.
It sounds incredible! I wish to see that:( Always hungry of new ways!
I actually love intermedia, and contemporary art in general.(not a banana stick with tape to the wall, not stuff like that) I don't like labels, they stand in the way of creativity.
On my year there was a guy who was 'sculpting' with theremin (he would create music with it, and the would use the graphic representation of the music wave, and then sculpted it with a thick wire) It was incredible. Very inspiring.
😂😂😂
I don't recall ever seeing a post on Hive with more comments than votes. There should be an award for that.
I see we're both wanting to know about that angel sculpture. I'm betting a type of marble that I'm not familiar with, or a type of limestone.
I've never heard of a theremin. Just took a quick look and am utterly fascinated with something new to me. Thanks for that. I just love learning something new. It's one of the three spices of life for me. No, dill is definitely not one of the other two. 😂
I feel the same way. You and @holoz0r should get some cool frames or something:)
Marble, definitely.
I love theremin! And for some reason, when I hear it - always Nina Hagen come to my mind, she is living theremin 🤣
What kind of cool frames or something should @holoz0r and I get? Probably he should, but I'm too far gone at this point.
Ha! I'm going to agree here. I have a lot of questions about old marble as a material. I've carved a few differnt marbles and found them to be most distasteful to carve.
I can hear why. I checked some out. Noting Nina Hagen to check out later. I see it's not as new of an instrument as I would have thought. There's something very unusual about it, but I haven't formed an idea as to what that is. I need more time.
Lately, it's been a touch of Dead Can Dance that I've been listening to.
Too far gone?! I don't accept that. Frames? I will figure something out, I'll come back to you :)
I like marble in old sculptures, but as a material for floors, kitchen worktops or modernist nightmares of modern architecture - I absolutely hate it.
I am glad you've found theremin interesting, explore!
Dead Can Dance🖤
I'll wait to see. Btw, I'm only three quarters of the way gone, so one quarter is still here.
🤣 mmm...calcium carbonate interior landscaping, ugh. Modern architecture inspires the urge to bleach my eyes. That's a whole discussion unto itself.
Oh yes, theremin has captured my attention, just fascinating. It's lining up with other things I've been looking at. It makes me think of this sort of thing.
One quarter it is still something!
I am not in oppose of everything new, but idea that every single building has to be done with glass and black stone just make me depressed. And the thing is - I really like weight-bearing volumes, soaring, gigantic buildings. I actually very much like neo-brutalism for example. But man... not everywhere.
It destroys the were idea of traveling as well - since we make everything so minimal and alike - cities are loosing individuality, its connection to tradition and history. They are stripped of their past and 'cleaned', but in the worst sense of the word. I think it is disaster, and architecture itself is in deep crisis, really.
I love that! I was getting back to one of my favourite book - 'The Hidden Life of Trees', and there is a bit there about sounds that plans would make while growing. Especially roots - they nearly 'buzzing', it is fascinating!
It is called "The Angel of Grief", by William Wetmore Story. Here's a wikipedia page.
Here's an edited version of a chapter in my thesis where I spoke about this sculpture at some length.
Incredible, that is a huge piece of marble out the. Beautiful.
Very interesting read! The very idea of a cracked statue, of how time treats our loved ones and ourselves. It is really something.
Time changes not only outwardly, but has a huge impact on the shape of emotions that burn us living flame and then slowly - in time - quiet down. Time actually changes things. This is how it is, right?
Or, alternatively, do things just succumb to mass of time, like gravity making everything sag?
I like that actually. What was up, has to fall eventually :)
That's why all those face liftings don't work for long - nature finds the way!
Crane operators hate this one hack
Gravity is a myth. 😉
