SOMEBODY
IS MISSING

At first was only sounds of unborn babies dissolving in silence and a red electric carpet to kept your feet warm from a natural blood bath.
Blood turns cold when it dries but only a few people know that.
A bubble gum machine gun for children under three to kill their fears it would be the best gift for humanity.

My skin was not my skin anymore so i could see under it; orange muscles glitering in the dark with the warm brightness of a halogen stove, red and blue veins reveling beneath it. The blood traveled to the heart with the power of ten drunk horses following the flow of a double crossed destiny and an ego centric madman.

There was no frustration in words but the ability to speak was lost due to technical inconveniences. Red Green Blue composed a symphony for lonely people all in one box. I see you see me through a glass and although all the bridges were cut we could still make connections following the rail pathway in the room. Walking blindly, touching walls trying not grasp the reality of a four wall dimension.

My head was not my head anymore so I could look through it.

According to 19th-century directories, Nowhere or No-Where is a marshy area by the River Bure where the villagers of Acle, Norfolk had salt-pans to produce salt for food preservation, etc. Originally an extra-parochial liberty it was formally incorporated into Acle parish in 1862 and the name no longer appears in maps and gazetteers.

Nowhere (1997)

Dark: L.A. is like, nowhere. Everybody who lives here is lost.

Going nowhere is a destination.

bee wax head

From *-------*

The last few months i felt like stop using my favorite epoxy stuff or at least minimizing the use of them. Plastic material was my candy. So easy to use, so fast and so unbreakable...
But i was getting sick of the smell. So i tried to make the head out of clay but except the fact it took ages ( around 220 hours...) i turned out too fragile for mold making.
So i had to restart the whole proccess out of bee wax.
Now my entire house smells like honey. I am kind of ok with it i think besides the fact that i feel constantly hungry. Wax is a hard but fascinating material. This is the head after 3 hours of work!
And the worse will come...

sleeping beauty - a breathing sculpture

2008-10-10T07:55:00.003+03:00

(text and post to be edited)

After a terrible one and a half year (in some parts also wonderful) i 've decided to work on something more optimistic and somehow more personal. My cousin died in a pretty bad way last year. Although I haven't got the guts yet to go visit the cemetery that she is buried, I started visiting other cemeteries trying to notice how people mark death.

A few months ago I start working on a new idea. Initially inspired by the statues in a serene sleeping position on cemeteries in Greece and much later on by Sleeping Beauty (Η Ωραια Κοιμωμενη) a sculpture of Giannoulis Halepas in 1877. Sleeping Beauty is the sculpture of a young girl who died in a very young age that is placed above her grave.

The whole story i am afraid it got me really depressed. So in a way i want to do the exact opposite. I would like to create a statue that is really sleeping and breathing. For that reason I picked as a model someone alive and a boy instead of a girl.

The Warm Machine:
(the idea of the construction of the warm machine came from Kafriel)

Thinking of ways to show the breathing i concluded that except the movement an other beautiful aspect of breathing that you observe only in low temperatures its the cloudy steamed air coming out of someone.

The construction of the Breathing Machine:
(sketch and idea by nos sin)

airways though the body:

A fast sketch that I did with clay for the head size and proportions a few days ago. The model for the breathing statue is Peter Broderic. I am really glad and thankful that he agreed to give his features to the sculpture.
