Even with 48" x 60" paintings, some people want to see things bigger. Viewing distance is an interesting topic for discussion, I think. <br /><br />Speaking of which- <br />Re: Google Earth.

Online, we can look 'into' them, but in person, on a gallery wall, they're working differently.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441252185724289126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954650505467017204.post-31131014979392339892010-11-02T06:21:38.572-07:002010-11-02T06:21:38.572-07:00I should title one of these pieces Nick Cave.

With those particular paintings, the Mounts, the imagery and space reads from all distances, but the actual painted stuff seems miniturized. So it doesn't break into bits of paint up close, rather, the scenic reading stays intact, and while you notice more of the paint stuff, there is a frustrating tiny-ness to it.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441252185724289126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954650505467017204.post-67514302398464784702010-11-02T05:51:05.699-07:002010-11-02T05:51:05.699-07:00I love Nick Cave.

Speaking of diora...I love Nick Cave. Count me in. <br /><br />Speaking of dioramas, I wanted to take issue with the review about your work- the last point the writer made about the works being perhaps too small to appreciate from a distance. I wasn't sure how I felt about that. Someone once told me that up close my small paintings broke down into bits of paint, which as far as I was concerned was a, "like, duh," remark, but I'm curious how you felt about what the writer said about scale.

Take one of those CD 100 disc holders - the plastic cylindrical ones - and make itty bitty tiny dioramas, several layers of them, each layer depicting the narrative from each of the songs on the Nick Cave "Murder Ballads". Invite a group of artists to do their own versions, and this would be the mother of all theme shows.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441252185724289126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954650505467017204.post-90656792402217327772010-10-30T09:05:57.922-07:002010-10-30T09:05:57.922-07:00whoo. . .

I'm sure there is a way to make CarlaEarth. Like a SecondLife or Sims. And it expands with each painting. Maybe there are dioramas in your future? or maquettes? I remember a software that was generating three D environments based on photographs. . . why not from paintings?Steven LaRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932068647330025855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954650505467017204.post-47047041379521596242010-10-29T23:22:57.267-07:002010-10-29T23:22:57.267-07:00Oops, sorry Carla's mom. :oOops, sorry Carla's mom. :oNomi Lubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662026175506202868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954650505467017204.post-17397783945602489542010-10-29T17:40:24.046-07:002010-10-29T17:40:24.046-07:00:-O:-OCarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441252185724289126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954650505467017204.post-72458472388875246652010-10-29T09:56:17.181-07:002010-10-29T09:56:17.181-07:00Sorry, too late
