Life is Art – You’ll hear this from me a lot it is i the # 1 Precept in PL teachings.
I would like to introduce you to a very creative idea of an artist in SL (Second Life, a virtual world) This artist has taken a concept and given it a virtual presence using tools graphics,sculpts, prims and textures . I do not know this artist, so have no way of telling you about his/her expertise, all I know is that I heard about the build and decided to have a look.
Art often reflects life, this artist in my view, showed us a playful and fun perhaps a tad dramatized picture of a side of life, many of us will often walk past with a blind eye. There is life outside our own realities, if we actually step inside another “world” we might be amazed at what we see and the people we meet.
Today we will visit Sunny Haven Tiny Trailer Park, Haven Shire (189, 100, 21) -(co-ordinates for visiting it in SL) Q was visiting friends in the Shire and having extra time decided to tour around, she had been away for awhile, She was admiring the well manicured lawns, the unique and different styles of architecture on various estates, when she saw a bright aqua colored sign beckoning from off in the distance. Having heard her friends talking of the park and the market place there, she hurried on to wander and visit.
She found the park to be totally not what she expected, yet its rustic and down to earth style and character led her to explore with a mind open to the creative possibilities of the artist”s or artists’ vision. Was this one artist or a collaboration, she didn’t know but she was intrigued. She found a good size pumpkin to sit on so she could look around and get her bearings.
Oh my .. so much to see, so much had fallen into disrepair, yet the place was not neglected, rather it looked as if the residence had a lot of fun there. Not that she would use the public washroom though! Eek!
Inside the stalls were empty, and everything was rusted The walls had a lot of graffiti on them,colorful, but certainly not to her taste. She couldn’t help but wonder at how many people had come though to register and stay at the park when it was thriving.
Nothing is ever what it seems when seen only from the exterior, (outside) Yes at first glance one could think the place deserted, but Q noticed that there was some litter but most of it was picked up and waiting to be tossed.
There certainly is a story here, and Q was going to find it. The Eviction Notice was on the building, yet she saw evidence of recent habitation. Some of the produce looked pretty darn good. Didn’t find any fresh eggs though.
Time to tour the rest of the place maybe go check out the pink flamingo see if anyone was home there. The only way to get to know more of the world you are in, is to step outside your box and look around for something new and different to discover.
