Caveman hands, sheanderthal. Skull mounts and totem art.

Posted by resonanteye on 03/30/2012

taxidermy skull mount with sweetgumHere are some photos of all the things which I just got back from the speakeasy art show.

Some of these will be for sale at MY SKULL AND NATURE SHOP, others are already spoken for, waiting to be picked up.

The hardest thing about selling these (besides the amount of logical work that goes into shipping them) is parting with them. I really feel the creatures, you know? Like each one has a definite personality, to me. So when someone buys them it’s like saying goodbye to a friend.

At least awesome people buy them. That makes it a lot easier.

Click through to see more photos.

These were, until now, on display at the Oak Street Speakeasy in Eugene, Oregon. I have had three waves of art showed there over the past year, along with Jameson’s, the Horsehead, and Unfine art museum. These are my favorite places to hang my work- the crowds that go there all seem to like it, and I get good feedback from the folks in these places.

Plus, the speakeasy is where every good death metal and sludge doom band plays, here in town. So of course I like hanging my skulls there.

Art Opening official info!

Posted by resonanteye on 11/29/2011

“Art is the purpose of my life. It is how I spend my time; since I was a child I have made things, drawn things, painted and glued. I firmly believe in creativity as a way of life, everyday living. I adore the extraordinary moments. The connection between death and life is the most constant theme in my art- the beauty of decay as fodder for growth.

I work every day on something. I work in many mediums, from bone to wood to paint to paper. I like to find creative uses for strange natural objects and enjoy repetition and rhythm. “

Current show: gathering

opens December 2nd, at the Oak St. Speakeasy in Eugene, OR

(show is open 5pm-2am, 21 and up: the bands Kemosabe and Dog Mage will play after ten)

Based on the work done previously in the spring show “sheanderthal”, “gathering” explores the connection between totems, animism, and environment. Original humans were not isolated from their world and did not have insulation to defend them; their world was THE world. We do not have to give up our technology to become more attuned to the world in which we live. We can seek our roots without shearing our branches.

All materials are legally harvested from roadside animal strikes, zoos, wildlife refuge and rehabilitation centers, and privately owned pets. No animals were injured or killed in order to produce this work; instead, discarded remains have been reborn in a nightmarish, deeply personal body of work which attempts to dive through the collective unconscious back to ‘caveman’ days.

The pieces are intended as meditations on the way modern culture has sanitized death (animal and human) and hearkens to a time when bare hands, soot, blood and bone were the existent artist’s material.Despite this overall appearance, the art is archival quality, with special care taken to dry and preserve the bones, whole mummified animals, and plant materials used.

“Anji Marth, the artist, is an immediatist who previously has had exhibitions of oil paintings, sculpture, drawings, and photography. She is a professional tattoo artist in Corvallis, Oregon. “

hot lemon and honey.

Posted by resonanteye on 11/28/2011

finally putting up a solid list of what I have available from the art show right now. I know I should be more on it with getting stuff online but, I have been ill…my throat…gah…

*sucks lemon*

I spent the holiday of feasting in a home where children live, so of course I’m sick. The germ-laden little heathens!

I am sure I’ll recover soon enough. Lots of hot lemon and honey; lost of snuggling with dogs and cats.

And lots of catching up with online work to do.

 

Once again, these works will all be on display on Friday Dec. 2nd, for the friday art walk in Eugene, downstairs at the Oak Street Speakeasy (corner of Oak st and broadway)

See you guys there! or here, in the internet.

ready for the art show!

Posted by resonanteye on 11/04/2011

Labels ready, statement ready, credit card machine set up, everything is set…

and I am still nervous.

 

I always am, I’ve been doing shows for over a decade and I get nervous as hell every time.

Wish me luck folks.

 

Oh yeah, side note: here’s my facebook art fan page, if you’d rather “like” than “add”.

I don’t bite, drop me a line! Or come on out to the show. I love seeing internet people in real life.
