Gary Darrah
From the Artist, Gary Darrah... I have been involved with art for a long, long time. It seems I’m always working on a project. Currently I’m working on a piano that plays in the wind. Also, I’m building a light show in my picture window that will use sunlight. I have made hand painted projector slides. I still have some of the best of them from back in the day. I used to rent them out to night clubs and for private parties. It helped me through some pretty hard times.
I recently made kaleidoscopic movies using broken glass of many colors, floating in oil. I filmed it all through front surfaced mirrors that I made myself from rear projection TV parts. I am remaking those with a better camera I have a lot of images that I have been working on since 1989. I estimate I have well over 20,000 hours involved over the years.”
