Xavier Lopez Art Project #6: Passing Notes.

Passing Notes.  

Mixed media collage made of all the notes

 I have written to myself in the last two years.

Xavier Lopez Art Project #5: How to Explain the Universe to a Dead Hare

How to Explain the Universe to a Dead Hare.

Setting up the install at the Greenwood Collective.

 Echo Echo Gallery.

Giant inflatable Cadbury Easter Bunny--

Stands in for the Dead Hare.

Like the ghosts that would come after, 

the Bunny was placed atop a wooden pallet.

Held in place by strings--this was soon to evolve

into full on stringage with the ghosts and other pieces. 

Straight on--the audio track is Scientist Stephen Hawking

discussing the shape and substance of the universe!

In front of another sculpture of mine.

My signature.

Map of the Heavens. Circa 1967.

Audio track on valise.

Xavier Lopez Art Project #4: Avatar: Weight of the World.

The initial, quick drawings for "Avatar: Weight of the World" and "Ghost: Holy." 

What the drawings turned into--not an actual lot of  difference.

Install at Seattle Art Fair Adjunct: La Cocina!

String wrapped around the tin-foil mountain.

Mountain.

Mountain, again.

Me. As an action figure.

Xavier Lopez Art Project #3: After the Flood.

A Tin-foil Island--the base was filled with water. If you look closely--you can see the reflection of the mountain in the water. 

The Tin foil Mountain series are all lit in a variety of colors--

adding a level of theatricality that is new to my work.
