"Hands" is a new installation on Pangea Grid, and the opening party yesterday was a delightfully relaxed party, attended by - among others - the two artists who collaborated in the making of the build, FeliX Ringtail and Lampithaler Artist.
A grey-green misty environment elevates and unites the elements of the build, creating a far-away feel, so appropriate when you think of Lampithaler's love of fairy tales.
There is something of the ' once upon a time ' about the majestic trees that add some organic context and vertical perspective that is mirrored and re-interpreted by the central part of the construction
Reaching to the sky, palms uppermost, stretching and spanning, the hands seem to grasp the very air, measuring it, caressing the atmosphere, inhabiting the platforms on which they stand. Below, boulders float provocatively on the teal-colored ether.
This calm and restful place raises questions of dimension and gravity, for the fundamental issues of space and shape that we first explore as children, with our hands. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, for Felix (best known in Second Life as Alpha Auer) has a far more down-to-earth view of it all.
