Meat Alternative Man Get's A Beet Heart
Watch a little man come to life from a block of tofu, and move around. Music by The University of Brattleoboro. Animation by HoughtonArt.com
This is the little man who we fling over the edge of the summit of Putney Mountain, near the solstice, with the hope that he will help bring more light to the world. We sing songs, we eat donuts, we fling the man.

20 years ago Rolf asked me if I could help him create a figure out of Seitan for his Solstice Seitan Sacrifice. This turned into a tofu puppet we called Meat Alternative man. After creating this puppet and giving him a heart of Seitan we didn't want to burn him so we created a papier mache travel pod shaped like a soybean and hiked him up to the Pinnacle in Westminster Vermont where he with the...

    I think we may need a contest to find the best footage of UFOs over Brattleboro. I think there could be two categories, one prize for UFOs created using special effect software, and another prize for footage shot of an actual object flying in real space. I personally think that drones are too easy and don't require much creativity, so, for this contest, I would exclude drones.

    I enjoy doing sgraffito very much. It's my favorite pottery technique. That's a LOT of work! How do you keep all the tiles uniformly moist while you work? You're either working so fast the tiles don't have a chance to start drying out, you're in a super humid area, or you've found a magic way to keep them all at the optimum leather hard stage while you work! When I am working on a big area I have to spritz pieces with a water mister continually!

    What does she put on top of the clay ?

    • @RolfParkerHoughton
      @RolfParkerHoughton 8 років тому

      +keely hopwood The tiles are brushed / painted with iron oxide, which is basically rust. This iron oxide turns black when it is heated in the kiln. That's why whatever is carved away is not black. Later, after the first firing, the tiles are glazed various colors.

    I'm not an artist myself in the conventional sense. But I know something if beauty and high art when I see it. Art is in the craft, in simplicity, in the imagination. The art is as much a price of the artist as his/her hands and the mind that gave it existence. I believe to understand someone look at their art, or play chess with them. Again reading my own comments and watching your video gave me the same rush of joy and inspiration. THANK YOU!
