Tamara Marke-Lares and Voci Dance are bringing Macabre Vignettes #3 | SNOW to Urban Rethink (625 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801) December 10-12, 2010. Admission is $20 cash at the door.
About: Journey through a dark snowy forest to discover larger than life raven and spider marionettes handing you a paper flower, beautiful fairies lounging about, and dancers politely interrupting your walk with enchanting diversions of movement and sparkle. This glittering site-specific art installation and modern dance escape completely overtakes every square inch of Urban ReThink in Thornton Park with Tamara Marke-Lares's experience designs and Voci Dance's interactive movement.
Children and adults will marvel at the animal-like sculptural costumes inspired by antiquated fables worn by the forest's inhabitants, the two strange art galleries full of odd dolls, bizarre etchings and sculptural curiosities made from insects and bone and the complete immersion in snow, snow snow. Refreshments by Rhapsodic Cooperative Bakery.

About Tamara Marke-Lares
Tamara Marke’-Lares, a California native, is skilled in many techniques and mediums. Her oddly dark aesthetic and slightly-off sense of humor allows her to create many strange and wonderful works. She is an abstract painter and storybook illustrator, who uses hand made pigments, oils and inks. She uses these same inks in her Intaglio Monoprints, Woodcuts and editions as a Printmaker. As a Sculptor Tamara uses all mediums, but favors wood, organics and hints of alloy to create her odd hybrids and bone creatures. She sculpts large scale fur and vinyl covered creatures as commissioned works, as well as ornate costumes and character looks.
