It is a "Neo-Ritual," a contemporary ceremony where one can address the natural forces surrounding us. Inspired by rituals from antiquity where people gave offerings to different gods governing natural forces. "Dear Universe" intends to modernize ritual offering and instigate the Buddhist notion of "karma," cause and effect. Step 1. Write a letter to the Universe. Ask for something. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/2187243/dear-universe1.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="426" width_o="640" height_o="426" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/2187243/dear-universe1_o.jpg" align="left" /> Step 2. Roll up your wish. Put it inside a helium balloon. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/2187243/kristen-and-the-party-shop-1.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/2187243/kristen-and-the-party-shop-1_o.jpg" align="left" /> Step 3.

The paintings were arranged as a map of Paris, with the blue ribbon representing the Seine. The arrondissements are written on the little ovals attached to the paintings. Miniature binoculars were placed around the café to help patrons view the details of the paintings from their table seats. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/cafe empty full expo.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="492" width_o="783" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/cafe empty full expo_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/sign close up.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="864" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/sign close up_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/la seine close up.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="466" width_o="827" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/la seine close up_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/n1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="1080" height_o="720" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/n1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/n4.jpg" border="0" width="576" height="864" width_o="576" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/n4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/binoculars close up.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="864" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/binoculars close up_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/bino 2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="399" width_o="831" height_o="496" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/bino 2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/binoculars 1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="503" width_o="766" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/binoculars 1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/natalie_poster.jpg" border="0" width="648" height="864" width_o="648" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/natalie_poster_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/statement.jpg" border="0" width="509" height="1008" width_o="509" height_o="1008" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1682625/statement_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://natalieturturro.com/Idea-Books http://natalieturturro.com/following/natalieturturro.com/Idea-Books Thu, 10 Feb 2011 23:56:57 +0000 Natalie Turturro 1044645 Images & thoughts, 2008 -

Painted the image & designed the vinyl backdrop (6' x 8') using Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator.

I employed a student carpenter to create storage units which represent urban buildings. The white shapes represent the windows. I encouraged the students' ability to observe details in their everyday life by drawing the indoor activity of their homes or that of their neighbor's on the "windows." I labeled all the planets and gave an astronomy lesson. Around the Sun is written "you decide what lies ahead" to inspire the children. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/img_83191.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1005" width_o="2048" height_o="3072" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/img_83191_o.jpg" align="left" /> Led a final drawing session with the kids. The kids can draw on all surfaces of the project: the white surfaces represent windows and are magnetic dry erase board; the storage unit is painted with magnetic chalkboard paint. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/img_84231.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1005" width_o="2048" height_o="3072" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/img_84231_o.jpg" align="left" />  Designed book layout & produced a publication describing my process using Adobe InDesign. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="580" width_o="792" height_o="686" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="192" width_o="2048" height_o="589" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/4.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="312" width_o="1626" height_o="759" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="288" width_o="1913" height_o="825" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/6.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="289" width_o="1435" height_o="619" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041222/6_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://natalieturturro.com/Costumes-Fashion http://natalieturturro.com/following/natalieturturro.com/Costumes-Fashion Thu, 10 Feb 2011 08:09:19 +0000 Natalie Turturro 1041218 Costume Design, Boston University Theater, "Sow and Weep" <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/Sow_and_weep_4.jpg" border="0" width="432" height="576" width_o="432" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/Sow_and_weep_4_o.jpg" align="left" /> Costume Design, Boston University Opera Institute, "Hostage" <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/hostage.jpg" border="0" width="378" height="499" width_o="378" height_o="499" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/hostage_o.jpg" align="left" /> Costume Production, Boston University Theater, "Red Noses" <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/red noses.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="474" width_o="888" height_o="629" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/red noses_o.jpg" align="left" /> Makeup Designer, Boston University Theater, "The Weavers" <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/weavers.jpg" border="0" width="435" height="660" width_o="435" height_o="660" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/weavers_o.jpg" align="left" /> Costume Production, Seaside Music Theater, Summer Stock Seasons 2006 & 2007 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/Michelle dress III.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="378" width_o="892" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/84205/1041218/Michelle dress III_o.jpg" align="left" /> Designed and constructed a cocktail dress made entirely of black satin bows worn at the Cannes Film Festival 2011.
