Thinking about what my role is as an artist in a world of global warming and Peak Oil, art galleries, make art, tennis, soccer, racquetball, make music, go to strange events, dance, work on collaborative projects, eat Indian food, have exciting conversations about philosophy, history, future, etc. hang out with friends, etc.

My name is Treiops Treyfid. I am a contemporary artist living and working in Los Angeles. I'm here on MySpace to assemble a community of artists/friends.
See below a video documenting my "Are You Product People?" installation at the Hive Gallery December 2008.
Are You Product people?
Eat Shit
holographic foil, polyester resin, spray paint, string light, 32w" x 30h", 2008
Notes: Here's a piece I made to describe how I feel about the nutritional value of fast food.
Desire
collage, spray paint, on cardboard, 32w" x 30h", 2007
Notes: Here's a piece I made for the recent Create:Fixate "Love. Beauty, Desire" show.
Flight Reclaimed
Mixed media, 56w" x 56h", 2006
Notes: This piece features a mix between two kinds of materials I have been working with lately, recycled materials (cardboard, plastic bags) & holograms & resin. It was a very complicated piece to construct. It has a hollow body inlayed with rope lights which shine through holes drilled inbetween the cardboard hexagons made from consumer product boxes. The "mane" is made from plastic bags pulled through the circular exterior.
Who I'd like to meet: Beautiful people of all kinds including: Artists. Musicians. Creative types. Feel free to contact me or add me as a friend if you like my art. But, if you have a music page, message me first otherwise I won't know if you're sincere in liking my art or just into promoting your band. Also, I don't allow ads in my comments unless you're a close friend, or if it's something I'm helping to promote.
