TORISIA

View of Torisian Orbital Model as seen through my Magniforium Scope



The minuscule crystal moon Zalvwonzia (top right of this image) is ommited in the torisian model due to its orbital distance and luminosity.

Torisia is an artificial planet levitated by superconductivity. Through its nucleous, a central axis unfolds onto an outer shell, alltogether in the shape of a Torus, yet seen here as a sphere.



The electromagnetic field circumscribing Torisia is a superconductive orbital grid, here depicted as a Geodesic Triacontahedron

The interplay between the planet's mass, lunar orbits and electro magnetic structure hold the Torisian atmosphere in a precarious state of equilibrium.

Geometry associated with the Torisian Planetary Cosmology is that of round polyhedra and spherical objects such as:



The Pentakis Dodecahedron, or geodesic sphere




The Geodesic Triacontahedron




The 12-point Sphere

And most predominantly the Snub Dodecahedron

Diorama

I havent posted in so loooong! But just so you cant say I've been slacking, I've brought some art with me to show you.
Here is a diorama room I created in october as a special commission for a friend...

It took many hours of work and lots of fun. The creation of rich contained worlds has been a passion and pursuit of mine for many years now.
Here is a "behind the scenes" image of the photoshoot which took place inside my "Moss Bed Valley", an indoors moss bed in my home studio.

I like to build a world in detail. I enjoy it so much. I am fascinated by the layers of depth that can emerge from a world or space or environment once you look at it at close range and pick appart its possibilities. And so in this project I added many layers of details, so that there would be mini artworks contained within the artwork; worlds within worlds.

For example, I made this abstract mixed media painting to hang in the back wall:



here's a detail:



And in the library I added cool things, like this replica of his kid's drawing...



...and this portrait done in pencil from a wedding picture.



But one of the funnest details to add, was this hidden miniature book...





I call this book "Illustrated Imaginary History of Energy and Matter"





Thanks a lot for visiting my little world, hope you enjoyed!

Canoe Adventures!

My family vacation, canoing at the Bald Eagle River. Life is not all work!

...or is it?...
