Seraphim recently went to Oxymoron, somewhere she’s not been for years…
… she doesn’t remember that the sim had all these beautiful pose areas…
… all in wonderful darkness that makes lit colour look amazing…
… as well as some awesome light sources in the environment…
… well worth wandering around in the dark to find.
Seraphim visited Puddlechurch, today…
… there was plenty of bucolic splendour in which to roam…
… in what had the feel of an early 1900’s, or late-Victorian era countryside…
… just before this point, there is some unpleasantness, featuring a tree full of lynched dolls of babies. Seraphim found it disturbing, but typical of what is often just around the corner, in SL…
… after that, the early-industrial theme gets more pronounced…
… still with plenty of decayed, seedy beauty…
… sadly, not long after this shot, Seri walked into one of those bolshy, belligerent security areas that told her she’d be evicted if she didn’t fuck off in 20 seconds. Seraphim HATES those things! Especially on land supposedly open to the public… she was so annoyed, she tp’d home, and doubts she’ll be back.
Seraphim visited ‘A Thousand Windows‘, last evening…
… she was immediately struck by how much it looked like Kowloon…
… all the neon and charm of Kowloon…
… all the clutter and convoluted alleyways of Kowloon…
… but, somehow, cleaner, brighter…
… less claustrophobic and seedy… safer, somehow.
… the soft, white light, and the smell of clean sheets washed away…
… to be replaced by the hum of neon, the smell of ozone…
… and cathode ray blue light…
… that new sculpture in her spare room was some kind of temporal translation locus…
… and it had sent her to some slick, high-tech futuropolis…
… she’d have to get home, and deal to that annoying thing.
Shot at Access.
Seraphim bought a gorgeous new lamp for her bedroom, today…
… she thinks it is exquisite craftwork…
… as is this extremely elegant tub she got for the second floor bathroom…
… but this… this is another matter…
… whenever she tries to sort this out, everything seems to go hazy and bright…
… and smell like clean sheets, straight off the line, when you were a kid…
Seraphim visited Binemust, this morning…
…there were lots of pine trees…
… to walk amongst , and smell…
… and close your eyes and listen to them talking in the gentle breeze.
Seraphim was back at the byzantine folly on the floating (in the sky) island, where Adelina has said she can set up a gallery, today. She loves setting new spaces up…
… this generally involves just wandering around in the space, placing pictures, then deciding what to off-set/complement them with. She has some items she often uses in her gallery spaces, which makes setting a new one up relatively stress-free, as she knows where to look to find all kinds of goodies to decorate her space just so…
… she loves the architectural whimsy the ancient folly provides…
… the balance of raw stone and intricate detail…
… she is enjoying slowly placing her very favourite works, to no agenda, or decree from some ‘art’ committee, that would dismiss her work as not ‘art’, but something inferior. Seri’s work is very personal, she has no desire to impress the oiks on their high thrones, she’s just very happy when someone, like Adelina, likes it enough that they not only say so, but provide her a place to show it. Seri is extremely visual, images are like books and songs, mixed together, for her… all her works are very powerful time capsules for her…
… each conveying entire stories, and episodes and ideas and feelings, from the time of their conception…
… all conveyed in nanoseconds.
Veyot asked Seraphim if she wanted to come to a dance near the Xaraz Gallery, where Veyot has recently become curator. While they were dancing with the others, there, Veyot asked Seraphim if she wanted to come for a dance in the gallery, to check it out. They both danced to the bottom level, then some more dancers arrived, upstairs, and Veyot rushed back up to greet them…
… leaving Seraphim to dance alone, amongst the RL landscapes…
… something she was perfectly happy to do…
… she hadn’t danced for a long time…
… and she had fun.
Due to the need to lower her monthly SL costs, Seraphim has been steeling herself, over the last few months, to take New Placebo Gallery down, and sell/abandon the land. She’s been slowly taking stuff out of the gallery the last 6 weeks, or so, but decided to bite the bullet and go for it, this morning. She’d just started taking pictures down, when her friend Adelina, asked her what she was doing. Seraphim told her, and Adelina said she had a surprise for Seri, which turned out to be this space, on Adelina’s land, where Seri could set up a gallery…
… it’s not at all anything Seraphim would have thought of to show her work in, but she loved it the moment she saw it…
… probably for exactly that reason. The byzantine feel of the building will make a perfect backdrop for Seraphim’s eclectic work…
… she is looking forward to taking her time setting this unexpected space up…
… she loves the concrete and stone details…
… once again…
… things are changing for Seraphim. As always…
… everything is in flux.
Seraphim went to Eterea, recently. The place had a pleasant, sleepy atmosphere…
… thought Seraphim, as she snuggled down the cosy steps… WTF?! thought Seri…
… as she was suddenly standing, knee deep, in someone else’s dreamscape…
… a waking dream walker, she felt this couldn’t just be one person’s dream…
… she was in some kind of dream-powered reality…
… there was hardly any sound on the gentle, warm breeze…
… perhaps that was geese, on the wind? She wasn’t sure…
… how did she get in here, again?…
