HUGS

Great work Lina !! x

Cool concept Lina! Nice!

very kool work!!

creative art…like a fine mixed-media collage work!

Fantastic concept and image Linaji!! Much better than the old “Magic 8-Ball”!! :>)

love those old elevators and this image sis ;) xoxoxox

it’s a fascinating work Lina and a great idea for a series. I know that humans behave differently in cities (where elevators are) than in cosy country towns. We city folk learn to ignore each other because we are surrounded by hundreds of strangers every day.
Fabulous work of art!!!!

Oh goodie! I can’t wait for the answers from the elevator. I have been waiting for elevator instructions all my life, Lina :)))

O Woot! you do come up with some wonderz sweet Lina ;] happy hugglez

An amazing series, absolute Artsy layering perfection.

Hey Lina, I’m in a 9 story bldg here at work, and although I only use the stairs now, I used to study “elevator behavior” for a long time; the instinct to always be equal distances apart from eachother and to shift when someone gets on or off to maintain that distance; elevator small talk; 9 kinds of perfume and cologne; the Sneezer; the malfunction and the smell of fear… I thought it would be cool to hang a dartboard up in an elevator, and ride up and down just to see people’s reactions as they thought about that. Also, if you carry a clipboard and pen, anyone can pretend to be an elevator inspector, just look at odd details, make scribbly notes, and mutter to yourself.

...and when I was just hired, I didn’t know there was a “private penthouse” on the 10th floor here at corp. headquarters! Only one of the elevators goes there, and it takes a key to get all the way to the top. so, one early morning I alone went from lobby to 9th; doors wouldn’t open… hmmm; went all the way to the lobby by itself, me still alone. So I push for 9th again, up I go to 9th, doors wouldn’t open; I push for 8th so I can walk up, but the elevator goes UP! Not Possible, my mind screams at me, There Is Nothing Higher Than 9!!! For just a few seconds, I actually believed I had died on my way to work, and was riding a mystical elevator to Heaven!!!

Anyway, doors open, I see blue carpet from my position plastered against the back wall, doors close, back down to 9th, I get off, curse all elevators, find out about the “penthouse”, get teased for weeks, ha ha, but still remember the Elevator To heaven!

This is beautiful!

I see a great sense of form in your abstracts, something rare to achieve, which you mostly do get somehow, excellent color palettes, varying in each of these works, a remarkable working style and the concept of this series extending into a book…just wonderful… darling…where are we heading…? xox

Oooooh, this is awwwwwesome, wow, so cool, awesome effect & technique

This is great work Linaji…love it

“a gala event!! within maybe this year!! xoxoxo” ? go on, I’m listening, very carefully sweetheart…
