Karton - An LOL video project June 10, 2008
In this project i have been able to embrace so many different forms of art, i have collaborated with children and artists alike i have touched upon the material of Paint, Photography, sculpture and writing. The Living on Loring project is an organic concept that embraces the passion of every individual that participates.
Art that communicates, art that collaborates and art that is entirely human.
In the Realities and the surreality that exists in one world we must remeber to get out of our box and see the world through their eyes.

“Living on Loring” - is now - ” Moving Loring “ May 31, 2008
“Moving Loring”
The Living on Loring exhibit has been moved to Museo Pambata. Together with Romina Diaz and Ann Wizer. The Wildcats Girls will be responsible for 2 kids each ranging from 8 to 12 years old passing on the skills that they have learned from the “Living on Loring” workshop conducted last February to April at the Galleria Duemila on Loring street in Pasay City.
They will be constructing treasure boxes filled with childhood dreams, putting inside these colorful boxes things that they dream and wish for. With hopes that in envisioning their dreams, a certain confidence inside them pushes them to better and change their lives.
On the 4th and the 11th of June will be the workshops conducted by Both Artist Romina Diaz and Ann Wizer, each artist will be responsible of a different day. The 11th will be dedicated to the construction of the treasure chest, filling the box with pictures of dreams. The 11th of June will be dedicated to recycling, an art mastered by Ann Wizer herself. Using found objects they will create beautiful pieces they can fill their treasure chests with.
Like toy cars made of bottles and necklaces made of plastic pieces and who knows what a child’s hands and mind can create. “Living on Loring” is an experience that must be passed on, not just from artist to student but from person to person. It is an example of society working together in order to create a better world.
The “Living on Loring concept” is designed to remind us about the individuality of each of these children. That despite their lack of fortune, material belongings and education, they all have a beating heart that moves an innocent mind to make beautiful things, in hopes that they just might remind forgetful hearts that a great humanity exists and we must act upon it
The launching of the MOVING LORING exhibit will be on the 14th of June at the Museo Pambata, along with the dollhouses and the installation photographs they took during their workshop that was exhibited at Galleria Duemila. They will be displayed at one of the museums major hall ways, accompanied by the 25 treasure chest that the Luneta children will make in the 2 workshops.
Museo Pambata will be exhibiting the show for 1 month in hopes that other foundations and groups will look into this interactive installation and inspire other communities to move forward with the dream.
