The event itself will be interesting. It&#8217;s a combination of <a href="http://www.theidproject.org/" target="_blank">meditation</a>, dance, music, movement, and <a href="http://www.banca-museo-fabbiocchi.de/2b/pages/76_jpg.htm" target="_blank">art</a>. She asked me to visually represent the color &#8220;Green&#8221; , it&#8217;s relation to love, and the heart chakra.</p>
<p>After a few weeks of struggling, my final &#8220;piece&#8221; is actually about my creative process in making it.<br />
<a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/photo-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1604" title="photo-2" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/photo-2-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a reflection of my thoughts on love, self-love, healing, green, and in the end it&#8217;s just bigger and happier <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lookalittlecloser/sets/72157622086536786/" target="_blank">exploding book</a>.</p>
<p>The actual installation is difficult to describe, but it will be a heart hanging from a tree&#8230;</p>
<p>*the heart*<br />
<a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/heart.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1610" title="heart" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/heart-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/heart2.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1611" title="heart2" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/heart2-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;Which will be filled with thoughts and flower petals&#8230;</p>
<p>*thoughts*<br />
<a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/thoughts1.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1609" title="thoughts" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/thoughts1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/stiching.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1607" title="stiching" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/stiching-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/wings1.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1608" title="wings" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/wings1-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;And underneath it, the petals and notes will fall into a basket and a bouquet of live flowers with be ribbons coming out in six points (the six points of the heart chakra). The idea is that you have to find &#8220;self love&#8221; before anything else can work.</p>
<p>As I get ready for the installation, it makes me wonder if this <em>is </em>art and how it will relate to the &#8220;audience&#8221; of this event? Since it&#8217;s really just my &#8220;self expression&#8221;, I may be the only one that can understand it. I suppose we&#8217;ll see!</p>
<p>At least it was fun to make!<br />
<a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/paper.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1601" title="paper" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/paper-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>And I had some great help.<br />
<a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cat.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1598" title="cat" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cat-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a></p>
<p>Until she was too tired.<br />
<a href="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/resting.jpg" rel="lightbox[post-1597]" title=""><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1602" title="resting" src="http://lookalittlecloser.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/resting-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="189" /></a></p>
<p>Happy Friday!</p>
