I am a quite regular visitor of the NovaOwl Community Center and Gallery and the NovaOwl Sky Gallery Both are owned by Uli Jansma, Owl (Owl Dragonash) is the general manager. NovaOwl is an international community on the mainland continent of Corsica. NovaOwl is located on Novatron. It is a meeting place where events take place regularly.
Owl Dragonash invited me to another exhibition at a new place, the Maison de la Chauette. Owl made it easy for me and provided a notecard of this new place:
“Nestled in the NovaOwl area, Maison de la Chouette stands as the newest gem in Corsica South Coasters. Our commitment to quality starts with using only the finest local grapes, which are lovingly and traditionally smashed by foot to create our exceptional wines. Yes, you are invited to roll up your sleeves and partake in this unique experience of grape squishing too!
Stepping into our tasting rooms, you’ll find yourself immersed in the artistic spirit of Corsica South Coasters. Every two months, we proudly host a resident local artist, showcasing their incredible talent and adding an enriching cultural dimension to your visit. Be sure to check our website for updates on the latest events and featured artists. The winery’s strategic location offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, creating a tranquil ambiance that’s perfect for unwinding. Accessible by both road and boat, thanks to our friendly neighbor Corsica South Coasters, getting here is a breeze.
So, take some time off, leave your worries behind, and join us for a leisurely experience filled with relaxation, art, and of course, our exceptional wines.”

The first featured artist at Maison de la Chauette is Lotus Li with her series of pictures named “A Crickets View”.

Actually from the Maison de la Chauette you can look at the NovaOwl Community Center and Gallery
The location is like Owl described it, just a lovely place to be. And the Maison de la Chauette is really decorated with love and style. I enjoyed my stay there a lot.

Lotus Li’s art is presented at the walls of the winery and on the 2nd floor, which you reach walking up the stairs on the left side. Again, I don’t have to speculate about Lotus Li’s intention with her pictures as she provided a notecard with the essential information:
“The exhibition “A crickets view” is a discovery of the world and adventures of the cricket and how they seem to rock up in the most unusual places and an exploration of what their view of the world could be. World Globe trotters, inquisitive travelers who’s energy and lack of fear open a world of possibilities and views to leap towards.
I often wonder where they have been and what they have done in their lifetime.
What adventures are to be had?
where will they turn up next?
what Dangers will confront them?
I have found Crickets in some very odd places, in my home of course but once, I had one hitch a ride across from Adelaide to Victoria Australia during a particularity hot summer and mid drought. I’m not sure what was more memorable, my truckers sunburn or the fright I got when I reached into my bag and a cricket jumped out at my face!
What is the most unusual place you have found one? What adventure do you think it was up to?“

The pictures provided unusal views from the ground up into the landsacpe, at objects, often restricted by leaves of plants or by blades of grass. Lotus Li’s pictures have the depth that allows you to focus on the main object that is placed into an often nice environment. The pictures are artful and I think they are all processed to provide this impressions. Well done!
Lotus Li is in Second Life since 2006. She’s from Australia and “loves to play and explore all things that spark my interest and feed her soul. In the last few years she has begun to to discover the arty world in Secod Life. Lotus plays with the photography possibilities within Second Life and it has been a blast for her. The possiblitiy to get the unusual angles, or scenes that you can’t see in real life has opened her mind and to try out the endless opportunities to create and to share with others.”
You can see more of Lotus Li’s art at her own gallery at CK’s Corner.

Thank you Uli and Owl for providing the space for the art and for enabling the exhibition “A Crickets View” by Lotus Li. I enjoyed my visit to the exhibition as well as the
Maison de la Chauette itself. A really lovely, cosy place to be.
