Ok, the pieces are almost done. I'm so stir-crazy...but I've got to finish.This is the last day to work on them. Got to finish the last marker work, wire them, repaint the edges, touch ups

For the last picture, I'm wondering how much like a doll house you really want to take this? Teddy bears and TVs are one thing, what about beds and furniture?
Do you visualize thse landscapes as being populated, or are these what the population sees when they move around? Or am I reading too much into this?
I'm working on that last one as we speak. In the pic, the pink room already has a bed, two nighttables and a dresser.There's a dining room table...and a patio table outside on the patio... The green room also has the basics, and an adjoining bathroom with the basic bathroom features. Living room has only couches,rug and lamp so far..lots of empty space. The yellow room is the kitchen which will get kitchen usuals, the grey room is the garage and I may keep it blank/empty, the other small white room is another bathroom, which will get fixtures.
It's in the vien of The Sims, which I think is a bizarre and telling game phenomena. But it's also reflecting ideas I'm exploring about information organizing itself as objects and spaces in cyberspace. There's a fascinating discussion of the concept of 'memory palaces' in the book 'Envisioning Cyberspace' that I think you might enjoy. In lieu of that for now,here's a brief passage I found on the web:memory palaces
I rather like itas it is. It is something I would love to look out on in the courtyard we have directly beneath this window and outside the reading room. A Long Time since I viewed your work and a very happy and refreshing view I am getting.
thanks. that icon of yours- so strange...my father did a pen and ink drawing so similar long ago...when I was a child...and he got it printed (It was the only time he did multiples)...so we had a box of them...and gave them as gifts to much of the family.... Brings back memories..:)
:) three layers on most. I'd like to do even more layers, but on the other hand I don't want to work all the time with resin. Stuff is too toxic.
It's a strange show...the galleries rent out hotel rooms..and things are placed around. I would like them to be able to be handled, so people could turn them and look at them from all different angles. They'll be wired so they CAN be hung on a wall vertically, but it's really up to the viewer for me. As you can see from my pics, I tend to look at them flat.
I've been to small galleries that had sliding walls full of art, kind of like those sliding closet doors, only sturdier.
Now you've reminded me of another wish-list project I'd almost forgotten: I used to dream about a table that had no compression elements at all, it was suspended from the ceiling, and tied to the floor with cables as well. When not in use, it would get pulled up flush with the ceiling.
But now with your flat pieces, I'm thinking about having 3 or 4 of them stacked in series, with the viewer able to raise and lower them at will. The cables would then loop down to the floor.
