Nino Vichan: What brought you in Second Life?

Fae Varriale: I saw a program about it on TV. I thought it looked awful but decided to take a look - that was 6 years ago.

Nino: What prompted you to make art in Second Life?

Fae: I had put some photos from SL on Flikr and became inspired by the work of SL artists I saw there. As I had always built in SL creating 3D works and installations was just a natural progression.

Nino: What inspires your creations?

Fae: Fantasy and myth runs through a lot of my work, and I like my installations to stories that take you on a journey. Inworld I often will get inspired by a place, or a pose, or maybe an item of clothing and create a picture round that - those often come out totally different to what was originally intended though.

Nino: Are you an artist in rl?

Fae: No

Nino: Is there any artist that inspires you in SL or RL?

Fae: It is more the individual art work that inspires me than any specific artist, although in SL a lot of Bryn Oh's work has really moved me

Nino: Is there a site where we can enjoy your creations?

Fae: I have a gallery where I display my pictures. My 3D work isn't on display anywhere at the moment.

Nino: What are the creative techniques that you use in your work?

Fae: My pictures are taken in SL and post processed in Gimp and Photoshop. I am currently learning to create with 3D programs to make my own mesh.

Nino: Any projects for your artistic future in Second Life?

Fae: I am too busy working on a large project with MadPea Productions right now, but I hope to have the chance to have an LEA sim again some time in the future.

"Often dark and moody, Fae's artwork is inspired by myth, folklore and fantasy. The haunting imagery draws you into strange yet familiar dreamworlds."

"Fae’s art is dark and delightful, imbuing each piece with its own aura. Mystical scenes and beings are inspired by myth, folklore, and fantasy; the haunting imagery is stunning."
