Iruka Maria Toro - (American born 1983)
Without Exception Everything is Reflected in this Mirror - 2015-2026
" ...iruka maria toro is a multidisciplinary artist, born and raised on the island of Boriken.
Healing, sound, divinatory poetics, plants, paintings, medicine, and archives of the heart are at the center of her investigative practice.
Her paintings, collages, and installations have been exhibited widely in the US & abroad. Her writing, gathered images, and collections of experimental field recordings are all part of an ever-evolving living library."
Her work is in service to the mystery."
"Iruka Maria Toro’s paintings serve as a record of her life, as well as a collection of carefully considered formal innovations. They address her identity through associations and clues, rather than through traditional self-portraiture. Free to reimagine figurative image making, Toro paints and collages patterned flora, fauna, pools of water, and liquefying landscapes in an imperfectly symmetrical arrangement."
"The World and Her Double was included in an exhibition at LaCa Projects entitled Strike a Match to Hear My Sound in which Toro explored her experience of St. Elmo’s Fire, a natural and supernatural phenomenon in which luminous plasma from static electricity creates a glowing light."

The Mint Museum is the largest visual arts institution in Charlotte and holds the largest public collection of Charlotte-born artist Romare Bearden's work.
The American Art collection comprises approximately 900 works created between the late 1700s and circa 1945. It includes portraiture of the Federal era, 19th century landscapes, and paintings from the group known as "The Eight" (Robert Henri, George Luks, William Glackens, John Sloan, Everett Shinn, Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson, and Arthur Bowen Davies). Additional highlights in this area include works by John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, and Hudson River School painters Thomas Cole and Sanford Gifford.
The Art of the Ancient Americas collection includes roughly 2,000 objects from more than 40 cultures, spanning more than 4,500 years. The collection includes body adornments, tools, ceramic vessels, sculpture, textiles, and metal ornaments.
There are about 2,230 objects in the Mint's collection of Contemporary Art. These include the Bearden collection and other works on paper, contemporary sculpture, and photography from circa 1945 to the present.
The Mint's Decorative Arts collection, considered one of the finest in the country, centers on its holdings in ceramics. Containing more than 12,000 objects from 2000 B.C. to 1950 A.D., the collection includes a wide variety of ancient Chinese ceramics, 18th century European and English wares, American art pottery, and North Carolina pottery.

In the near future, a unique group of female androids, sleek and strikingly human-like, has emerged with a revolutionary capacity: the ability to breathe underwater. These androids, appearing around 27 in human years, are pioneers of a new era in underwater research. They have established complex laboratories beneath the ocean’s surface, where their studies extend from the vibrant coral ecosystems to the mysterious lives of deep-sea creatures. Guided by an evolved aesthetic that echoes Steampunk – yet devoid of steam – their research facilities meld advanced technology with artistry, creating an enchanting, intricate environment that harmonises with the rhythms of the ocean. These androids, both researchers and artists, represent a fusion of life and machinery, inviting us into their world of discovery and beauty below the waves.
Beneath the waves, where light is rare,
In depths unseen, they breathe and dare.
With circuits keen and eyes that gleam,
They dive into the ocean’s dream.
Not bound by air, nor by the shore,
They roam where humans feared before.
Among the fish, with grace they glide,
In silence, where lost mysteries hide.
Their world is brass and glass and wire,
A steampunk heart, but without fire.
They seek the pulse of ocean’s art,
An android’s love for life apart.
Silence in deep blue,
androids glide with open eyes,
ocean secrets bare.
Metal breathes below,
fins and circuits intertwine,
new life, calm and slow.
Random Hipshot is an art project, which evolves around shooting random photos with a camera hanging on the heights of the hip while moving through locations.
Each picture gives a random detail of the surroundings and the people, who are unaware of the presence of the camera.

Last night another dream became a reality for me. Last night something I had been thinking about and working towards took full flight. Last I opened my Evolve Gallery with my business partner Dennis.
Prelude, our opening show and fundraiser featured the amazing work of 15 artists representing 5 countries.
From student artwork from Ryman Arts and Star Prep Academy to emerging and establish artists, this was a great start.
We are located on the 11th floor of the historic REEF building at 1933 S. Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles. Our hours are Monday through Friday 12-5pm
ALL work is for sale
A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. The term zoetrope is from the Greek words zoe, "life" and trope, "turn". It may be taken to mean "wheel of life" or "living wheel".
London is constantly evolving. Cranes and construction equipment spring up between the mottled skyline of new old and ancient buildings.
Stay Low is an installation by Architect Werner Van dermeersch and Composer Serge Verstockt which has evolved over several years and is still evolving.
4 loudspeakers are flying through space propelled by model airplane motors. Each flying speaker has his own camera and sends these live images to projectors projecting the livestream on the surrounding walls. The Airplanes are controlled by several means through MAX/MSP Cycling 74 and CV control voltage system which reacts on musicians / sound / audience / pilot / keyboard / sliders /....
The installation has been used in several settings ; MHKA, de Singel, ARTEFACT,Concert gebouw Brugge,Verbeke foundation, Laboratorium III.

The wooden reredos from the demolished Holy Trinity church which stood nearby until 1983 (I remember it well and was deeply saddened by its loss, my home town has never felt the same since). This formerly stood under the east window at Holy Trinity (whose glass was saved and is now partly displayed in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery) while the reredos was rehoused in the vestry under the steeple of St Andrew's church, where it can only be seen with special access (many thanks to Helen Bryant for this). The angel it its apex however was detached and is now mounted separately near the main north door of the church.
Rugby's parish church of St Andrew is an imposing landmark in the town centre, and highly unusual in possessing two towers, one 15th century with battlements at the west end, and the tapering steeple by William Butterfield at the north east corner, part of his rebuilding of the ancient church. (unusual as this two-towered church is, the town's catholic church also evolved in a similar way, thus both major churches share the effect of asymmetrical towers, a unique situation in Britain).
The arrangement was even more impressive until 1983 when the massive nearby 1870s George Gilbert Scott church of the Holy Trinity, technically sharing the same churchyard, was tragically demolished.
The medieval St Andrew's had already been much altered, having begun life as a village church it was gradually expanded to serve the growing town. The nave had been enlarged in the 1800s and by the time of Butterfield's further expansion of the building in 1877-85 only the west tower and the north nave arcade survived of the medieval building. These were retained, the old nave effectively becoming the north aisle (and outer north aisle!) of a much larger nave built to the south, complete with south aisle and a lofty chancel.
The interior is therefore every bit as eccentric as the exterior, with Butterfield's characteristic use of coloured stonework and a sanctuary rich in marble finishes. The most dramatic feature is the chancel arch surmounted by a cross adorned with geometric patterning and supported by richly carved corbels. The font too betray's Butterfield's love of contrasting coloured marbles.
The stained glass in the main east and west windows (along with the north and south windows of the sanctuary) is by Clayton & Bell. The remainder, in the aisles and the large Baptism window under the north steeple (difficult to see since conversion to a vestry) is all the work of Burlison & Grylls of London, with their characteristic neo-Flemish fine drawing in subdued tones.
The church is usually open and welcoming during the day with a small cafe set up at the west end. I am especially grateful to Helen Bryant on my latest visit for giving me access to the vestries to photograph the glass there.
