This weekend I worked on what could be considered the bookend galleries of Collagesity in the Rubi Museum (now merged with the Town Diner) on its southern boundary and the so-called “World of Collages” on the northern edge. I’ve basically completed all I can with both now.
World of Collages is a project that will always have a working end as you move upwards through the building. This particular gallery will feature guest collage artists whose work I respect and also display well, within the limitations of Second Life texture uploads. Right now we have a selection from “regulars” Kollage Kid and Kenneth Rougeau, but I’m on a search for more. And just to note here, the collage efforts of Julie Sadler are also in the village, housed in the Norum Gallery on its west side. I haven’t made a decision whether just to move her work into the World of Collages gallery or just leave it separate — or display it in both venues.
I haven’t mentioned this yet, but lately I’ve begun to create cutouts myself besides just buying freebies from the SL Marketplace. Exciting! Here we have Mossman and his cousin Boss Moss, plus Lisa Simpson. More on the way!
Then we come to the Rubi Museum inside the Town Diner. Now while you grab a quick bite to eat and drink when visiting Collagesity you also have something to stare at. Each prim supports two textures displayed as an animation, similar to what I did with the larger Noru Museum this past summer in that version of Collagesity. I’m quite pleased with the results. I’ve decided to focus exclusively on my VWX Town in Rubi from this past winter in the exhibit, instead of ranging out in an attempt to encompass all my stops in the Rubi area down through the years now. This tightening allowed me to fit the storyline into the Town Diner, and not have to use a separate, larger building like was the case in Noru.
On a break I also had time to take a quick trip to Heterocera’s west coast using one of the marvelous Yava Script pods.
