This Page's Question:
Q: "Argo, what is the difference between a Living Statue and a Stone one or a Wax one? Why are Living Statues bunched with Mannequins in your site instead of the other statue types?"
A: Other people may feel free to rail against my assessment, of course, but my considered opinion is that a Living Statue transformation is more closely related to a Mannequin one in that both retain their original color and tones-- at least to a degree, and in the Fiction Archives, I've kept with that assumption. The simplest way to gauge in a story you may be submitting or looking at is, if the person's body keeps its normal appearance and only to the touch can be found to be a statue, I tend to consider it a Living Statue. Even if at the touch the body feels as though it's turned to stone, I usually file that under Living Statues and Mannequins on this Archive. If there is an actual coloration change to a 'stony' hue, then I file it with the Stone Transformations. Wax is a little different, but then again, I have so many stories centered around wax museums and the like that there just seemed to be a need for a way to separate them. Ergo the Wax Transformation icon. :)

As a Dutch-German gay couple traveling the world, we’ve made it a point to seek out and document these sites, not just for their historic significance. Post Views:15,724 LGBTQ+ Monuments play a vital role in preserving history, especially for communities whose stories have often been silenced. These monuments are emotional and powerful reminders of how far the LGBTQ+ community has come and how much further we still need to go. In this article, we, as gay travel bloggers, present thirteen meaningful LGBTQ+ monuments from around the globe, each highlighting queer resilience, loss, love, and pride. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art. A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living roombookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. so in those cases, I have used the "other" icon. If any information (such as author name, title, or editorial errors within the stories) is incorrect, please contact me as soon as possible so I can rectify them. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials? When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. |
