Raphael Lyon's week long residency begins.

So for the past couple days you might have noticed a dude working hard inside the display window both during trading hours and in the middle of the night and early dawn.
Providence based artist and musician Raphael Lyon has moved in above the store and has committed himself doggedly to his incredibly layered and complex art piece "All Bones Build" V1.
"All Bones Build" is a large scale, touch sensitive- dark activated, 3
dimensional 6 oscillator spellcasting diorama and crystal cave. This
installation is a meditation on the potential of fractal topography, fungal
biota, and the productive necessity of decay.
The residency will be going all week, culminating on Sunday Feb 3rd, when it will be unveiled in all its glory. Mudboy(Providence) and Megafuckers(LA) will be performing, and Lyon will also be signing copies of the "All Bones Build Fantasy Play Set and Poster Kit" at the opening. The limited edition Fantasy Play Set contains an 11x17 fold out silkscreen poster, accompanying sound track by mudboy, and all you need to make at least one 3d fractal cardboard crystal.

Once the huge drawing scroll is taped to the front of the glass, Raphael starts cutting the tint.

And cutting....

and cutting.....

the first part is done!

Josh helps lay down the scroll for the main window.





and none of this even hints to what's going INSIDE the window.....
