Review: Forest of Scissors

The Forest of Scissors, by Igor Ballyhoo, is located on the UTSA Art Space. Once you arrive, you immediately find yourself surrounded by what seems like thousands of gigantic scissors. Above and below, hovering, a dark and threatening sky. One gets the sense of being lost amongst these huge scissors, a sense of being trapped in a suspended monochrome landscape in the sky. There’s an overriding feeling of dread coupled with acute beauty. Breathtaking. This is surrealism in Second Life and nobody does it better than Igor Ballyhoo. High level of craftsmanship, creativity and originality. Check it out when you have a moment, its worth the trip: http://slurl.com/secondlife/UTSA%20Roadrunner%20II/118/110/1997
