AirKick is a sport and adventure device that will send you flying and get you wet. It propels participants through the air in a pre-calculated parabolic trajectory using a special combination of air pressure and water recoil technology. The participant sits in a specially constructed seat at the back end of the catapult arm and 3,2,1 Liftoff. He sets the device in motion himself by pushing a button. Approximately 60 Liters of water are then forced through a rocket nozzle under the seat. This pressurized water (8 to 10 bar of air pressure) propels the participant 8 meters though the air for a cool and refreshing splash down in a swimming pool

Ursula is a New Yorker who sometimes makes pictures and sometimes makes words, and often sits very very still and tries to pyrokinetically melt herself from the inside out. She graduated from Fiorello H. Laguardia (the “Fame”) High School in 2002, bitter, but confident that things would be looking up real soon. She then went on to Parsons School of Design where she spent more money than she likes to think about on a single piece of paper. In 2007 she escaped Parsons with a surprising amount of her dignity still intact. These days she’s still bitter, but pretty confident that things won’t be looking much worse anytime real soon.

Sometimes Ursula draws dead babies. It’s not cause she dislikes babies and wants them dead or anything; if you take her to the Natural History Museum she’s liable to cry when she sees that family of elephants with the little dead baby elephant holding on to the dead momma elephant’s tail. Ursula draws dead babies cause she’s profoundly disturbed by the fact that dead babies exist in the Universe.

Same goes for lots of stuff she draws.
She’s just working through it.

Does Sandman dream

“I tried tackling OIL. it deserves all caps since it’s the big fat beast i have always dread to face. Studies are one thing, but to paint a Real thing is just too daunting. but i was so inspired by the con and everyone’s work i decided i can sneak up on it:With thin layers and glazes.

i wet the ground with Linseed and proceeded. the second day it became really fun and i thought Oil was the best thing in the world, and medium the best perfume.

…And then i look at it this morning and found it still glistering WET. man, i am part of the no-attention-span generation~ so i started to miss the digital again.

Digital Images by Charlie Morey

Four decades of experience, rich in traditional photography, photojournalism, journalism, creative writing, graphic design and computer graphics has prepared self-taught digital artist Charlie Morey for his current endeavor, producing fine art gicl閑 prints based on computer-enhanced digital photographs.

Morey’s photography experience began in the mid-1960s with a second-hand 35mm Minolta viewfinder camera, purchased at a pawn shop in Bangor, Maine, and used to launch a lifetime avocation of creating fine art prints.

A photograph of the body may show us what we fear and desire; a photograph of a statue may represent the things we dream of, envy or do not understand. Our perceptions, our interactions between nature, culture and each other, are a force in my art, especially as they relate to gender and sexuality. As subjects I use friends, models and dancers. There is intentional staging and use of negative space for subsequent layering of other images. There are often surprises. I frequently shoot long exposures in the dark resulting in a blurred image giving a sense of dreamlike motion. Surreal, allegorical, painterly images emerge probing the psychological, but also embody real human needs and experiences.

Nancy is available for photographic assignments in
Vancouver, Victoria and the Gulf Islands: Mayne, Saturna, Pender, and Salt Spring.

NANCY ANGERMEYER: ARTIST STATEMENT
The photo-based work represented here is the synthesis of my background in painting and photography. Collectivley, the work is a visual narrative of multiple realities/images with a focus on the human figure, embedded in sculptural, architectural, or natural imagery.
