8 x 8 x 8: Urban Alters

Urban Alters

One of the things I love the most about New Mexico is the showy way that religion is right out there. Saints in bathtubs on the lawn, cars painted with the Virgin, Jesus on tee shirts.
I've decided to do my eight pieces based on my favorite photos of those blatant shows of faith I run across every day. Besides, I love chain link, chicken wire and wrought iron bars as frames for my photos, so why not use them!
Looking forward to 8.8.08!

San said...: I've thought the same thing, Leau. Part of what makes the Land of Enchantment so enchanting is "the showy way that religion is right out there."

Got your invite today. And I hope I can make it. I would love to lay my eyes on your chicken-wire framed in-your-faith images.; June 27, 2008 at 7:32 PM

8 x 8 x 8

In Chinese numerology, the number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number. Any dates with this number are seen as lucky dates. That would make 8/8/08 a significantly lucky date due to the occurence of the number 8 in the month, day and year.
On August 8, 2008, 8 artists will exhibit each 8 pieces of work in an 8 x 8 size at 105 Studios located on 105 4th St. in the heart of downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. These works will include mixed media, photography, painting, 3-D, digital and whatever else strikes their muse!
This blog was created for the artists to post their muses and images during the process.
Mark your calendars for the opening reception on Friday Aug. 8th from 5 p.m.- 9 p.m.
The show will be on exhibition until September 7th, 2008.
