Mike Pelletier: Lucy Skull
“In 2011 I was invited to create a piece for an exhibition called “Ctrl-Z” curated by 3d artist
Eric Van Straaten. This was a group exhibition of artworks created by various 3d printing processes.
The model of the skull was generated from a friend’s dental tomography scan. The form of the object was created by creating an array of copies of the skull, where each successive copy of the skull is scaled, rotated, and moved. The skull starts at life size at the front and ends up rotated 180 degrees and two times larger than life at the back.”

“Early April in the Rocky Mountains, the majestic peaks are still snow-covered while the lower elevations, including the lakes and rivers have melted out. I was walking along the riverbank when I saw a dark form lying on the bottom of the river. My first thought was a deer had fallen through the ice so I wandered over to investigate…and that’s when I saw the long tail. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I was looking at…a full grown cougar lying peacefully on the riverbed, the victim of thin ice. I tried to capture the eerie feeling I felt at the time as best I could.” x

One day, you’ll wake up and you’ll be 23, or 32, or 56 or 91 or 9, and you’ll realize that every alleged fact you thought you knew about yourself, the universe, the way you act, the traits that you use to define yourself, the music you like, your friends, your family and your life are utterly false. Not a disparaging, absolute false, but rather a sense that they may not be true anymore, and that the world you created is exactly that: a would you created. And you might have outgrown that world, and you might’ve outgrown all those truths, and you might’ve outgrown all those barriers and you might find that the beautiful things you’ve seen and done don’t fit into the dimensions of the finite universe you’ve been living in. The greatest, most excruciating, uncomfortable pain I’ve ever felt is found in trying to expand my being within a predefined universe.
