Rebeca Bashly’s Arctica Dreams at MetaLes
Posted: December 16, 2011 Filed under: Sneak Peak Preview 3 Comments »
I’m with Rebeca Bashly at MetaLes one hour before the opening of her new exhibit, Arctica Dreams. This place is like a dreamy fairytale; I am really at a loss for words. Initially, when one teleports in, one finds oneself in a large snow landscape with only one large barren tree. After a short walk, one finds a way down under the blanket of snow, entering a world of ice. Here, amongst, tunnels, and various kinds of ice positioned upon water, we find Rebeca’s beautiful ice statues. This is a large work, it spans over a whole sim, lending a true sense of magic. Please set to midnight for best effect. Come take a look at this wonderful installation, you don’t want to miss it: http://slurl.com/secondlife/MetaLES/210/187/73. Bottom photo by Rebeca Bashly.

I am really glad to see ppl enjoy seeing Arctica as much as i did creating it… and i truly had a blast.
Thank you
I think one of my favorite parts were the large roots form the tree above that span like an umbrella over parts of the work itself. A truly wonderful installation.
