Artist’s Statement:
“Charlot Dickins – by request”
Charlot Dickins is the virtual alter ego of a really unkown real female person, who was fascinated with 3D for ages, but never could afford a decent software programme to try it out, nor did she see the use of making 3D builds -never to be watched by another eye of another living soul other than the ones she would be able to force- which would be, moreover, a great burden to her hard disk, that at the time had the size of one Mb. So for the sake of her bank account, a pleasant family life and a longer computer life, she left the 3D dreams where they belonged and forgot about them for a long, long time.
At the sight of the Second Life building tool, the real woman behind Charlot Dickins went wild, the slumbering 3D urge awoke and a process of unchained, neverending and addictive prim twisting and turning had begun. Moreover, Charlot Dickins does not like short sentences and therefore only writes very long ones, and just like Madcow Cosmos she likes to speak about herself in the third person.
This exhibition only shows sculptures Charlot Dickins made as a commission and gives you the opportunity to see them in one building, no need to wear out your prim shoes and go and look for them all over SL – if you might happen to detect that strange need deep in your inner self- and was an idea of, and made possible by, Callipygian Christensen, to whom she expresses her gratefulness. Thanks also go to Shenlei Flasheart of the Fashion Research Institute for providing the location.
To keep a certain uniformity and prevent the public from thinking that Charlot Dickins is a very unstable minded, mentally disordered and inconsequent avatar, the sculptures that are shown here are made for only three commissioners: Alexandar Vargas, Intlibber Brautigan and Jade Vandyke, to whom she also expresses her gratefulness.
Last but not least she would like to thank Carlbotd Truss, for giving her the opportunity to build as a very new born avatar and for supporting her building addiction.
