The Lounge has also appeared at the Riverside Art Museum (solo show in the alcove gallery), at Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825 and as a window display at the Homestead House in Pasadena through Phantom Galleries and LAAA. The installation reflects individual voices of popular fictional female characters from various cultural/historical time periods. Mirrors - associated with vanity, reflection and self-analysis – seem a natural medium for this exploration. The approach is basically theatrical – using writers (like Virginia Woolf), characters (like Mrs. Dalloway) and actors. The viewer assumes the role of actor by reading the line or quote which is reflected in the mirror along with their own image. Creating an atmosphere that is beautiful and secluded sets the stage for this investigation. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/Epidermis-Emporium ad3d014068ef8078476b9c2619adbbd2 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:11:30 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Epidermis-Emporium http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Epidermis-Emporium/11Larson.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Epidermis-Emporium/11Larson.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Epidermis-Emporium/11Larson.thumb.jpg The Epidermis Emporium – a sculptural installation presented at Kristi Engle Gallery, in downtown Los Angeles, March 2007 and at "TarFest" in 2006. Epidermis Emporium is a tongue in check look at how we view the skin we live in - the human body and its sacred (honored) and profane (misused) aspects. This dicotomy is followed by presenting the figure in a reverential way while actively encouraging its sale-ablilty. There are three sculptural components to the Emporium: The Sacrafane Collection, the Platinum Collection and the Painted Ladies. All of these sculptures mimic the shape of the commercial dress form but are treated as a traditional sculptural torsos. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/personal 8b8c0f6a5637fe6466bcd721855d23e8 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:43 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/view_comments.php?set_albumName=personal http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Looking-Glass-Lounge/05Larson.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Looking-Glass-Lounge/05Larson.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Looking-Glass-Lounge/05Larson.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/album01 835b248b8d6a29c3a790ec677a55fa46 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:29:29 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/view_comments.php?set_albumName=album01 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Looking-Glass-Lounge/05Larson.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Looking-Glass-Lounge/05Larson.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Looking-Glass-Lounge/05Larson.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/The-Clearing dc4c0be313384e90931807525ef2cba7 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:26:53 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/view_comments.php?set_albumName=The-Clearing http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Clearing/Clearing1.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Clearing/Clearing1.sized.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/The-Clearing/Clearing1.thumb.jpg "The Clearing" is in part a response to the southern California fires we are experiencing in this time period. I envision this as an installation wherein blackened branches coexist with butterflies (the eternal symbol for transformation). The connection to flight or spirit is grounded with rooted female forms (or perhaps cocoons) – the connection to the earth. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/Fire-Station-34 fd5364014a663d0211813822693f2483 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:07:51 -0400 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Fire-Station-34/Elements1.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Fire-Station-34/Elements1.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Fire-Station-34/Elements1.thumb.jpg 1999 – 2002, "Elements of Valor" for Pasadena Fire Station No. 34, located on the campus of Cal Tech at Del Mar and Holliston, Pasadena, CA. Commissioned by the City of Pasadena, Cultural Affairs Division. This public art project examines the “elements”- fire, water, air, earth - from the perspective of alchemy (the ART of knowing), and beyond that to modern science and mathematics, within the context of the heroic work of fire fighters and paramedics. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/DOT-METER 97e13410e2a221168ac3611ef41b7371 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:38:36 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/DOT-METER/Dot_MeterColumn.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/DOT-METER/Dot_MeterColumn.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/DOT-METER/Dot_MeterColumn.thumb.jpg 1995 – 1999, "Dot-Meter" – created for the Department of Transportation Parking Enforcement Facility, west Los Angeles, commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Three elements used in the total design: Terra Cotta Sculptures on columns, exterior concrete, and interior tile. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/VNess 61bad6339e6f9efb5e7ff61de7e45519 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:37:08 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/VNess/Vness_hall.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/VNess/Vness_hall.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/VNess/Vness_hall.thumb.jpg "Welcome to The World" completed August 2001. Created for the Van Ness Child Care Center located at 5720 2nd Avenue, Los Angeles. Commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, for the Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department. The work consists of 6 cut out painted figures of children at play, representing 6 continents of the earth. In the summer of 1999 the artist photographed the children at summer camp and selected 6 figures to use in the series. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/If-Then 01560e7cba2bb795b920849f55163fff Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:36:36 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/If-Then/PICfx55.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/If-Then/PICfx55.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/If-Then/PICfx55.thumb.jpg “If – Then” was a design collaboration between myself and Los Angeles’ city architects for the Downey Child Care Center in Lincoln Heights, CA. and commissioned by the L.A. Department of Cultural Affairs. This project describes a journey. The journey happens inside the building but references the environment outside– trains, cars, the L.A. River. A pathway is suggested starting with the linoleum art wall in the entryway, jumping off onto the floor, and out onto the exterior two color concrete patio. The children can actually make up their own physical journey. The patio carries an abbreviated labyrinth which contains the word “IF” and continues into the classroom with the labyrinth motif, snaking back out onto the patio. The “if…then” refers to the choices one makes on the path of life. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/Watts-Fire-Station-65 2a274a502d80b9542012df6229d83528 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:35:58 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Watts-Fire-Station-65/FS65.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Watts-Fire-Station-65/FS65.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Watts-Fire-Station-65/FS65.thumb.jpg “Life is about energy. Wisdom is how you spend it.” – for Fire Station #65 at 103rd and East Century Boulevard, in Watts. Commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs 2003 – completion 2006. The title is a quote from Father Amde Hamilton of the Watts Prophets. The Watts Prophets are an amazing trio of poets, rooted in the community of Watts, who rose from the ashes of the 1965 Watts rebellion to become innovative poets (the grandfathers of hip-hop), and inspirational teachers to today’s youth. This project deals with the element of Fire as a source of inspiration as well as destruction. http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/public 1dc747733f846399338c13dbb36c69c4 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:55:40 -0500 http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/view_comments.php?set_albumName=public http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Watts-Fire-Station-65/FS65.thumb.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Watts-Fire-Station-65/FS65.jpg http://larsonart.net/Gallery1/albums/Watts-Fire-Station-65/FS65.thumb.jpg
