Sorry to say I missed the opening of Giovanna Cerise " Retrospective" over
at Gay Island Resort Saturday the 31st . In November I did an article on her
“Chaos” at LEA http://slnewserdesign.
I was lucky to see
Giovanna while I was there as people were coming in to see the exhibit. She told
me that most of her works are in prim but lately has added mesh to the newer
ones. I had a hard time deciding which I like best as did another visitor . Her
latest, The Ballerina , I believe is almost all mesh. It is entrancing. Giovanna
also will have an exhibit at the 1Billion Rising so I will be looking for her
works there too.
This Retrospective will be on display for the month of
February . I hope you will be able to visit to see the full range of her past
years all in one place. This is an adult sim and I am not sure if you need to be
age verified but try..
Another exhibit that I visited this past weekend was the new SL Photography
exhibit that opened at the Seaside Gallery owned by JMB Balogh. My
friend Slatan Dryke .with whom I have worked on several sl birthday events and
Burn2, is showing his varied pieces. Again I missed the opening event but
went over to see what he was displaying. Slatan likes to explore Second Life and finds
sites that intrigue hims. I asked him what windlights he uses, and he told me
that he plays with the setting until he finds one that he likes that will
achieve the image he wants. 
The pieces on two floors are eclectic . He says of
his work "Photography... My Photography is not an Art Expression. It's
only a way to bust from myself... however, being closer to my Kernel."
There is a biography note card with more information about his works in the
gallery.
I would say my favorites are the ones with a foggy , smokey
look that are so intriguing. He does some in bright splashes of vibrant color
and some in subtle hues . He also has set some of his scuplts around the
gallery. Make time to visit both during February .
