Flying Machine / by Karin Taylor / from the ‘Inspired Series’ / / Mixed Media / ink, chalk pastel, charcoal, acyrlic, mediums / silver, gold, bronze and rose metallic acrylics / adobe photoshop My most recent work, this piece was influenced by the ‘gliders’ in my family who have taken to the sky recently. My husband, my son and their friend Erich are all involved in a local gliding club…and always suggesting I paint an aeroplane lol I thought, there’s no way i can do that! / But i found a way, after lots of thinking on the subject to incorporate a sort of flying contraption i designed myself into this piece. My girl is onward bound and it’s semi-self portrait i guess you could say…altho most people don’t see the resemblance to me….she is a lot younger, perhaps how i would like to be thought of lol Also inspired by my lovely and ever patient friend Christine / a fabulous friend and textile artist, her threads and yarn and tactile things have affected me on an immense scale, so that all my work these days is imbued with these elements….although there is no actual wool or thread in the painting, i have used these as inspiration for her scarf and hair detail. The khaki overalls are what i wear when i’m painting, with a white singlet in summer, or a jumper in winter…...i am yet to find a hairdresser who could accomplish this hairstyle for me.. the little parrot represents conscience, a little voice that knows right from wrong….this is an idea loosely taken from a movie i saw a while ago ‘The Golden Compass’ I dedicate this painting to Christine, as she has listened to all my crazy ideas, and very carefully encourages me or points out things that may help, and i don’t know where i’d be without her…..thanx Chris :) Patchwork and patterns, repitition, daisies, journeys, serene expressions, genuity…..

I went for a hot air balloon ride a couple of weeks ago – it’s quite the way to travel. I was surprised by the accuracy of the ‘steering’. The wind direction varies with altitude, so the pilot took us up and down into different air currents to control our direction. We landed within a few hundred metres of the target – after a 20km flight. Mind you, we did crash into a tree during the landing. This is an image looking into the ballon from the basket.

I just couldn’t pick my favorites, I love bright colors.

A few years ago, Mildura hosted the World Hot Air Balloon Championships. I headed up there for a few days to enjoy the event. Travelling with the competitors was great as I got to see how quickly they measured the weather conditions and set up their balloons. About 80 balloons were raised at about the same time, many of them side-by-side like this, in a rush to take advantage of the best wind conditions. Not only were they pushing against each other on the ground, but the balloons would also bump each other in the air, it was really an amazing sight.

Travel for me is about stepping outside of my normal comfort zone. I have never thought about balloons. I’m not intensely afraid of heights or anything, but I don’t like the idea of having so much air between my feet and the ground. I would never have thought to try to arrange something like this at home, but when our guide suggested that this might be something the group would enjoy, most of us took advantage. The first morning in Luxor started out as dawn broke high above the city of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings….

Arrested Expansion is a symbolic scene that depicts a combination of self-excluding objects that might not be present in real life. Objects in the secluded room make the viewer feel claustrophobic and unreal, which might be compared to someone’s mental delusion based on a medical condition. Image is a mixture of photo stock with some 2D vectors, and 3D objects. Photoshop, 3ds max, Illustrator. / The most common cause of cardiac arrest is a heart rhythm disorder or arrhythmia called ventricular fibrillation (VF). The heart has a built-in electrical system. When a contraction happens, blood is pumped. But in ventricular fibrillation, the electrical signals that control the pumping of the heart suddenly become rapid and chaotic. As a result, the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles, begin to quiver (fibrillate) instead of contract, and they can no longer pump blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If blood cannot flow to the brain, it becomes starved of oxygen, and the person loses consciousness in seconds.

I was in Snow Mass near Aspen, Colorado, for Balloon Glow. At dusk the balloons were inflated. The crowd counted down and all the balloons were lit up at the same time. It was a spectacular scene with the storm clouds moving in. The clouds lit up with the glow. This was the culmination of a wonderful evening which included some of the best barbeque I’ve ever had.

When we were in the North Island of NZ last, we took a Balloon Flight up from Hastings. / I took this image from inside the Balloon, as it was filling up with air. ===================

Balloon I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon, / And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon; / There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue: / I need a sky companion and I want it to be you. We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up above, / I’ll cover you in rainbows as we feel each others’ love; / You’ll shower in the stars at midnight in our special place, / I’ll dry you with a comet’s tail and kiss your beaming face. Dreamy drifting panorama, changing every day, / Every night your loving smile will be my milky way, / The moon will wane before us, sailing there in heaven’s height, / For nothing else can challenge our love’s everlasting light. Venus shining on us, glowing soft at our devotion, / Our daily drifting dalliance in love’s celestial ocean, / I’ll write you lovers’ poetry, and you will be my muse, / Orion and Andromeda will oversee our cruise. We’ll sleep with clouds as pillows, maybe steal an angel’s wings, / Then fly as magic lovebirds, or slide round Saturn’s rings, / And should we tire of drifting and the stars all floating by, / We’ll hook onto a meteor and soar across the sky. Will you consent to be my mate on our celestial ship? / I’m ready, heart all packed with love, to last us for the trip, / Take my hand and step aboard, we’re heading for the sun, / We’re flying till we find the place where our two souls are one. - Graeme King -

I shot into the Sun after noticing that the distant hot air balloon was in the centre of it (I added this comment after Alan’s observation and comment)

When the balloon flight was over, we were encouraged to get involved with the packing up process so that we could get to our champagne breakfast much sooner. Everyone put their muscle into pushing out the pockets of air in the deflating balloon. There was much laughter as each new pocket of air appeared and we struggled with the giant orange fabric. In the end Don (our driver) put his who body into it – literally, casually throwing himself into the soft billowing fabric. It didn’t take much prompting for our daughter Chelsea to also throw herself into the middle of the fun. In some of the photos she is almost swallowed up by the giant balloon. This is a favourite though .. her face in the early morning light is pure joy. (c) sooz 2008

I never fancied myself someone who would enjoy hot air ballooning. It’s not that I’m phobic of flying, but I never have liked so much air between my feet and the ground, but the opportunity arose while in Luxor, and I had to try it out. I can report back that it is really an incredible sensation, made far better by an incredible view like the Dawn skies over Luxor. In the twilight beneath these balloons is the ancient Valley of the Kings, where New Kingdom Pharaohs were buried a couple thousands years ago. In the end, this experience of drifting on the winds was one of my absolute favorite moments of the entire trip. Something I probably never would have tried here, but travel, for me at least, is stepping outside those comfortable areas.

This is our driver Don who got up at 2am to get ready for his early morning rounds. He picked us up at 4am and drove us an hour into the countryside for our early morning flight. When the flight was over, his job was to carefully help pack up the balloon before delivering us all safely back to our hotels. During the packing up process we were all encouraged to get involved. Everyone put their muscle into pushing out the pockets of air in the deflating balloon. There was much laughter as each new pocket of air appeared and we struggled with the giant orange fabric. In the end Don put his who body into it – literally! With his eyes closed and his face aglow with the early morning light, he makes his job look so easy. But we know .. he works hard for the money ;-D (c) sooz 2008 The company we went with (and highly recommend) was hotair ballooning Gold Coast Ph 1300 766 887
