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.

Perhaps I felt I wanted to help because I was so used to a fast modern pace, perhaps I wanted to help because I was impatient to see the ending of their emergence and not sit on the shore all day.  But in the end we chose to sit there and just watch.  Not help and enjoy life and the day.

The willingness to explore, discover and change.  That cannot happen until one builds the foundations for that to happen.  Like the water dragonfly that cycle needed to happen first and then the rest happens.  The same holds true with whatever one takes on in life– it is a cycle – it is a journey – live it experience it for yourself and don’t let anyone steal that from you if you do let that happen to you then you have lost a very important part of life’s journey and life’s cycle.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":32173650280501,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Giclee $750","offer_id":32173650313269,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/Emerging-Dragonfly.jpg?v=1602042016"},{"product_id":"dragon-kite-1","title":"Dragon Kite","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDragon Kite, 30 x 40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOriginal unique water media on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiclee print on paper available\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatured image in blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/follow-your-bliss\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFollow Your Bliss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeatured image in blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/the-majestic-pine-and-the-squirrel\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Majestic Pine And The Squirre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003el\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eDistinctions:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2018 64 ARTS.

By asking the right questions I walk away with an appreciation of what the artist is attempting to say, whether a work agrees with my aesthetic sensibilities or not. It has been a wonderful experience to open myself up to the many ideas presented, new visual styles, and modes of communicating.

I listened to a video Mark MeHaffey created stating how he judged the exhibition.  He had four criteria; First, and miles above the other three, was that he needed some kind of connection to the work  – be it emotional or intellectual.  This connection was, he stated, always in the content of the work, the emotional, aesthetic appeal of the work.  Second, design was important, using the elements of principles of design. Third, the technical ability of the artist – how does the artist handle paint, brush, paper and water? He stated that this one was not very important because he felt that if artists were entering international exhibitions they knew how to handle all these things.  Fourth, he would find himself thinking “damn I wish I would have thought of that, or done that.”  What a treat to listen to his criteria for judging an international exhibition – and what a treat that he related to my work “Cliff”  this way.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":32172749324341,"sku":"","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/cliff.jpg?v=1603050986"},{"product_id":"chasing-the-wind","title":"Chasing the Wind","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAbout:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eChasing the Wind, 30 x 40\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiclee print on paper available\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal water media on paper \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlso known as \"Catching the Wind\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeatured image in the blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/blog-control\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eControl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatured in the image, \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/the-wind\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Wind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":32171137564725,"sku":"","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Giclee","offer_id":33346916974645,"sku":"","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/Chasing-The-Wind.jpg?v=1603050947"}],"url":"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/collections\/large-framing.oembed?page=22","provider":"Christine Alfery's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
