R-Evolution
Marco Cochrane
Constructed of steel rod and balls and covered in stainless steel mesh, with LED lighting effects, R-Evolution is a 48 foot tall sculpture of a woman, Deja Solis, standing firmly with both feet on the ground, eyes closed, arms open at her sides, palms forward, a peaceful expression- present.
The culmination of The Bliss Project, a series of three monumental sculptures of a woman, Deja Solis, expressing her humanity, R-Evolution like Bliss Dance and Truth is Beauty, is intended to demand a change in perspective… to be a catalyst for social change. She is intended to challenge the viewer to see past the sexual charge that has developed around the female body which has been used for power and control, to the human being. We hope to inspire men and women to take action to end violence against women, making room for women’s voices, thus allowing both women and men to live fully and thrive.
DuckBoy
Episode #4
The Evolution of DuckBoy
DuckBoy has been wandering the lines of the Grid avoiding the gridlions,chasms,crevices and the many misleading clues. He has avoided standing in line,waiting for unknown responses. He feels that he`s grown altho his life still feels episodic. He wishes he could talk but he has promised to be silent. Why did he promise her he`d be silent? It was so long ago he almost can`t remember..it was something about chittering too much,got on her nerves...ruffled her feathers...so he had set off on this journey...to find the Pond of his Youth...Ah, he seemed to be emerging from this awful Grid,even if it is into this foggy,misty,blurry landscape...it is hot and humid..maybe this is the way to the Pond?
In the Distance he sees a Sign...He moves towards it...
and yet there is something menacing. He feels like he is being followed. Is this just another Panic Attack?!?
Many thanks for feedback and ideas and offhanded suggestions..Ya never know what might get incorporated...that's the dynamism of our interaction...
Modify Evolution posted this as her 365 photo today... I looked at it about a thousand times before deciding to do my own version...
I am no stranger to the trials of self image, I have spent my entire life not so much in a struggle with my weight but certainly what others consider "over weight"... I recently experienced emotions related to my weight that I had hoped I was rid of, and found that I have to learn to love myself again, even if a small step at a time
it was a moment I had
and looking at Mandy's powerful image made me realize how stupid it was
Thank you Mandy
