Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
I love abstract art. Most of the art in my home is abstract or extraordinary examples of the graphic display of quantitative data. (By the way, the best work-related course I ever attended.) But yes, it is abstract art that really grabs my eye. As much as I love story-telling pictures, these explorations of shape and color always excite me the most. Suzanne Graves is not just the artist taking these pictures, she is the person who created these exciting shapes. “2017-04-14 LEA5” reminds me of those molecular model kits. I swear the one in Ninth Grade used these same colors.

“SLEA Sandbox 2021-05-24” seems to capture Suzanne in the midst of creation. The following picture may be the completed project or close to it and the one after that seems shot in the midst of the construct. Again, she is using red, white, and black, though this is shot in a whiter lighting. It’s full of energy and action. It suggests motion, even in a still photo.
Flickr displayed these two explanatory pictures together, making them appear as one. It seemed to create its own set that should not be separated. This is her explanation for “How sculptures are born.” And the following pictures are a kind of Slinkies Gone Wild, a party everyone should attend. Though she does successfully herd her rambunctious slinkies into shape in “Heartbeat.”
Personally, I think it’s a Flickr felony that Suzanne Graves has only forty-seven followers, though I confess I only recently discovered her stream with the Faves Game. She does not post often, but following her would alert you to new in-world exhibitions as well as allowing you to see how she sees her creations.
