The Path is an immersive project based around the exquisite corpse concept sometimes used by the Surrealists. Essentially, each chosen artist adds to a composition in sequence. Eight artists were invited to stand upon one of eight different coloured boxes I had set up. Once all had chosen a box to stand on, a chart was rezzed which listed the order of colours which would hten dictate the sequence of artists to compose the scenes for a narrative.
So if red was the first colour on the chart, then the artist standing on the red cube would begin the narrative. If blue were next then the artist on the blue cube would continue the story after red had passed their part on to them.
The artist who goes first composes a short start to a story. They then pass on this segment to the artist who is next on the list. That artist would then write up a continuation of the narrative and pass it on to the third artist. This would continue until reaching the eighth and final artist.
This was the random order of artists:
1-Bryn Oh
2-Colin Fizgig
3-Marcus Inkpen
4-Desdemona Enfield / Douglas Story
5-Maya Paris
6-Claudia222 Jewell
7-Scottius Polke
8-Rose Borchovski
I would like to thank all the artists involved for working so hard on this project and in such a professional manner.
They created a truly brilliant experience for me and hopefully for all the guests as well.

Artist’s Description of the Piece:
This piece is a tribute to The Four Noble Truths that Shakyamuni Buddha taught. Each of the vertical sides of this piece represents one of the four noble truths. I have chosen to illuminate these teachings because a see that a complete realization of these truths would be enlightenment.
In short, my interpretation of these truths are for now as follows:
1. There is suffering [for all sentient beings who are not enlightened]
2. There are specific causes to this suffering.
3. There is the possibility to be liberated from this suffering
4. There is a specific path that can lead to liberation from this suffering.
Questions:
1. How does this piece relate to Dharma?*
It is a direct and experiential representation of the Four Noble Truths.
2.Were there any particular Dharma teachings that this was inspired by?
(Please enter any teachings under the ‘Tags’ section on Flickr)
Four Noble Truths, suffering, causes of suffering, the path
3.Would you like to offer this piece for sale?
No thank you.
4. Would you be interested in showing your work for a live gallery showing? Yes
a.If yes, how should we contact you for a gallery showing invitation?

Ou quand des buildeurs de génie décident de s'associer pour nous faire rêver.....à aller voir absolument et prévoir du temps beaucoup de temps (surtout la partie de Bryn Oh comme d'hab :-))

The monochromatic tones were an inspiration - two skin changes later and there was a near monochromatic huntress to mix, match and contrast.
I promise for my next image I will put the heads away, and make something more seasonal ;)
