What is a Slinky you ask? It is the longest lasting toy around and perhaps the simplest toy around. The creative person who imagined this helical spring name was Richard James. The toy was created around the 1940’s. It can perform a number of tricks according to Wikipedia including traveling down a flight of steps going end over end as it stretches and reforms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum. Robert James got the inspiration for this toy when he accidentally knocked over a box filled with miscellaneous nuts, bolts and springs. A spring fill on his desk and leap frogged across it. The Slinky and the inspiration for it is such a testimony to the imaginary and moving forward with an idea. Who would have ever guessed it could still capture the imagination of children 76 years later.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor the competition I would have with my brother I discovered the trick to winning the competition with him was to figure out how to place your Slinky just right so it would not stop moving and loose it’s momentum in its flight down the stairs. It was always a disappointment when my Slinky would stop moving in the middle of the stairs and my brother’s would continue down quickly to the bottom. Give me one more chance I would beg and he would. This simple toy would entertain us for hours, we would laugh and play and go down the stairs get our Slinky and start all over again. It’s a good memory, I still can see the stairs we used to play on in our little red house on Royce Avenue. I have traveled back to that house recently, it’s now painted grey but the same bottled glass is in the front of the house. I wonder if the strawberry patch is still in the back corner of our city lot, and if the patch of green grass behind the garage still has the flag stones we buried our pets under when they passed. So many goldfish buried behind that garage. I don’t regret going back but the memory changed when I did but at the same time others memories surfaced.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original $1500","offer_id":32026541719605,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclee $750","offer_id":32026541752373,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/somersaults.jpg?v=1601582520"},{"product_id":"springtime-thaw","title":"Springtime Thaw","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAbout:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSpringtime Thaw, 30 x 40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOriginal unique watermedia on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiclee print on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeatured image in blog: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/melting-snow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMelting Snow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Statement:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI started this piece along with “Oceans Deep” in early November but I didn’t like where they were going.

There frequently would be fog rising from the river in the fall which was my favorite time to go exploring. I can remember finding milkweed pods opening and spreading their magic in the air, glorious colors, and mud.  Lots of mud along the shores. Rock River was never a pretty river but it was a river and I was with my dad and that made it all ok.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI have to say living on a river, swimming in a river, playing in a river, catching fish, and waterbugs and frogs was just the beginning of my love of water and rivers.  As a young adult I began paddling rivers, loving their winding horseshoe turns, currents, and colors. I love paddling the clear waters of rivers in the Northwoods and Canada.  The more recent trip to the arctic and fishing the clear waters of the northwest territories I did some wonderful watercolor sketches of that trip and those rivers. My love of rivers and water has lasted a lifetime for me, starting with those adventures with my father many years ago.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith all these rich memories, it makes sense that I would start doing a series of rivers and waters – this is the first one several ideas I have for paintings. I wanted to catch the flow and current of the river, making the work fluid like my washes and the current. At the same time, I wanted to make the content also about connections our connections to the earth and the sky, the stars, the sun.  And I wanted to work with a new palette of colors. Needless to say, once the work on rivers and waters starts sparks begin to fly and it is hard to stop.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine

In the piece “Escape”  the work is filled with maze like circles one needs to negotiate to find home, or self.  And then there is the herd showing folks the way, not necessarily the right way but a way, their way most likely.  And then there are those who give up on the maze and the herd and find a way out.  They are the ones hanging from ropes or stings precariously.  The piece is a combination of watercolor washes and  gestural marks made with India ink and acrylic paint.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinction:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuried Regional
