Thor and Nate have decided to collaborate on a rustic sculpture/contemporary media project, which will hopefully come across as an exciting adventure in peering into natural burned out branch niches of an aspen tree.......to see......to experience......to be startled and enlightened......at what the natural world........provides.....to stimulate a deep and startled response as we peer....into......a tree....These are the types of images that will be seen in the 'niches' of the NICHOS project; just a beginning of this artistic set of impressions:

All of these images would fit into the shape (frame: freeform circle with darkened interior) like above and the niches in the sculpture below:
This (above) is the basic sculptural form and format








This is more like the scale of images, perhaps a little larger

This event should be pretty exciting; what with the beautiful setting of Taos Brewing and the multiple bands and artwork for sale and to see and the blacksmithing demonstrations. Also Aztec dancers to light Ben Remmers' Fireglobes !
