		"Time Out" Melissa Maldonado   current "star" rating: (4.7) *****   YOUR "star" rating:   Select ***** **** *** ** *   current bid: $100       THE MOUSE..."Constantly moving at the speed of technology, I often appreciate the simple things. Time Out reflects the outside world of high technology and starts the viewer through an act of VOYEURISM; being CAUGHT (in a mirror on opposing wall) and finding a mouse who savors the slower pace of life. He is surrounded by low-tech belongings: a typewriter, rotary phone, newspapers, writing page and books. (Data acquisition boards provided by National Instruments)."   THE ARTIST...Melissa "Mel" Maldonado is a design supervisor for National Instruments, located in the "Silicon Hills" of Austin. Her adventures in advertising and from around the world have taught her to find the humor in everything. She enjoys creating works of art from recycled materials and displaying them in the environment where they once were originally used.
