UW Video
It's been a while since the last post and for good reason. As much as there is going on in the studio, the majority is planning and video projects that are ongoing for the next month or so. However, I've been informed that the University of Washington Press has granted us permission to publish a digital version of the essay for the upcoming publication due out this Fall for the iPad. This will be an exclusive chapter available for preview in release with the printed book. The digital version of the essay is focused on the history of Coast Salish art and various aspects of the 2d and brief discussion of the 3d works. The iBook version will include interactive sections that will highlight design shapes and include virtual 3d interactive objects as well as short video segments.
A lot has gone into developing the visual explanation of how the NWC art form works as you can see from the previoius post on the ovoid. Plans are to eventually write a book that walks through the design process to identify historical objects from different nations and provide a basic understanding of how one can interpret the art styles. This has involved a great deal of learning with several software programs but the end result should be a promising one that can summarize what can be easily lost in translation. In the meantime here is a promo video UW Press has put together to promote the book. I will be posting more on this as things develop.
Also, installations pending look to be coming into focus so more studio works will be showing up soon as well.
