I made a lotus flower base for the Blue Pearl Bodhisattva (Horse Buddha) to sit upon. Details take a lot of work, although they aren’t significant, it still matters to do them. Bases are important of course. So is time-consuming to video like this. Also showing some techniques of working with foam and papier-mâché.
… social media, designed to draw off our surplus creativity in the same fashion as capitalism draws off our surplus labor’s value.
… every image and post, while promoting ourselves and creative products, also enriches the media platform where they are seen.
… we lose our hours and uniqueness, to be seen, at the price of commission paid to the media companies; our creative value-product itself.
A new title occurs for this sculpture. The Blue Pearl Bodhisattva.
This Horse isn’t a Deity or a Buddha, but remains mortal on Earth to give help to all who suffer.
Meanwhile, I’m heavily influenced by some Chinese rural handicraft and cooking videos… technique of paper mache.
