Wearable Art and Parks For Peace

Wearable Art and Parks For Peace

Nina has been working on a project, "Parks For Peace", monumental sculpture parks by and for children around the world that will inspire world peace.

These parks are for children to explore their artistic talents with a chance to share them with the world.

As part of Nina's quest to bring Parks For Peace into fruition she created a wearable art line which is to help fund these incredible parks.

"Eternity" with a child in the center represents a triad as the city has changed its name three times. Hlynov, Vyatka and now Kirov, Russia.

Russia Update

I am currently in Kirov, working on a project to create monumental sonic sculptures for the city. I got to watch myself on television last night. People are actually recognizing me in the street from a recent local newspaper article. 

Today I did a radio interview and made about 50 videos of people for a Matroyeshka doll sculpture I am creating. We are now planning a Friday night lecture I am giving and then I meet with an engineering club!

I should add that, during the TV interview, I was interviewing other people (it was very interesting) and asking them what they hope for the future of their city, the world and for their children. Almost all of them said that they want peace and that Americans and Russians should love each other. 

It has been a wonderful trip so far! 

RUSSIA!

I had my first night in Russia. I'm in heaven. It's cold rainy and gray. My favorite!! My sponsors took me out to a Ukranian restaurant. they are bright young tech artists and we talked about art & technology & politics & the state of the world & education & health & on & on & on. I LOVE bright fun artists!!!!! I'll be working with a team of designers & engineers and we will be creating a monumental sculpture for the city of Kirov. I am the headliner (ad only artist) and they will be following me around with a team of video guys. I am beyond happy!

NEWEST SCULPTURE

My recently completed sculpture, "Liberté".
This bronze piece was Inspired by the French national anthem “Le Marseillaise”.

Through the ages, conflicts have been waged through bloody battles on the fields and shores of distant nations.

We now need to win the fight within ourselves.

The sanguine patina on this angel (sanguine – blood red – from the French word “blood”) is an aesthetic symbol for the heart and life force within us.

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week I wanted to share the story behind my sculpture, "The Little Mermaid", because not only was the 5 ft. version of this piece selected for the Great Lakes Bay Region "Fall In Art and Sol" solar art exhibition, but I also just sold this piece at 22 in. to a collector in Hawaii for his pool area.

When my daughter was very young, we went to Copenhagen. While there, we visited Carl Jacobsen's famous sculpture of The Little Mermaid on the rocky shores of the city. I wanted to create my own, unique version of this classic piece. Cast in bronze and on a base of coral, "The Little Mermaid" has more attitude than most as she surveys the world with total calm.

PUBLIC SOLAR ART

I just won the Great Lakes Bay Region's "Fall In Art and Sol" solar public art competition! My sculpture, "The Little Mermaid", will be exhibited in Michigan from September 28th - October 31st.

The heart can be cast in bronze or glass, and is hand-engraved in any two languages. Inspired by a beautiful love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning: "I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."

Art Design Consultants Exhibition!

My sculpture, "African Queen" was just accepted into an exhibition at ADC Fine Art in Cincinnati, Ohio. To find out more about the gallery and the exhibition, visit their website: http://www.adcfineart.com/

SCULPTURE INSPIRATION

I was always incredibly inspired by the old comic strip, "Little Nemo in Slumberland".

Little Nemo is a fictional character created by American cartoonist Winsor McCay. Nemo appeared in McCay's weekly comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland, which ran from 1905 - 1926.

The original set-up of the comic revolved around the nightly dreams of a little boy named Nemo (meaning "nobody" in Latin). The purpose of his early dreams was to reach 'Slumberland', the realm of King Morpheus, who wanted him as a playmate for his daughter, Princess Camille. The last panel in each strip was always one of Nemo waking up, usually in or near his bed, and often being scolded (or comforted) by one of the grownups of the household after crying out in his sleep and waking them. In the earliest strips, the dream event that woke him up would always be some mishap or disaster that seemed about to lead to serious injury or death, such as being crushed by giant mushrooms, being turned into a monkey, falling from a bridge being held up by slaves, or gaining 90 years in age. Later on, when Nemo finally did reach Slumberland, he was constantly being woken up by Flip, a character who originally wore a hat that had 'Wake Up' written on it. Flip would go on to be one of the comic's seminal characters. Other notable recurring characters included: Dr. Pill, The Imp, the Candy Kid and Santa Claus as well as the Princess and King Morpheus.

Although a comic strip, it was far from a simple children's fantasy; it was often dark, surreal, threatening, and even violent. The "Slumberland" of the title soon acquired a double meaning, referring not only to Morpheus's fairy kingdom, but to the state of sleep itself: Nemo would have dream-adventures in other imaginary lands, on the Moon and Mars, and in our own "real" world, made fantastic by the dream-state.

 -Wikipedia 

 The beautiful illustrations inspired when I was an illustrator myself, and still inspire me today, while making my sculpture. I have a large book of Little Nemo in Slumberland comic strips in one of my offices at my home and studio in Florida. following are some samples of art from the comic:

And some of my own art:

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week I wanted to share the inspiration for my sculpture, "Angel de la Vida". First cast in bronze, I then patina her with fire and chemicals and create subtle nuances with metallic powders and waxes, filling her robes with the colors and passions of life. Throughout art history, angels are frequently depicted in heaven above the clouds. I brought the clouds into her drapery and attached her to a steel circle, giving the illusion that she is floating above the material universe. She can be commissioned in any size.
