Thirteen Moons Gallery

"At the forefront of innovation and exploration in Fiber Arts, Thirteen Moons Gallery represents the work of both established and emerging artists"

This is a web site for the Thirteen Moons Gallery on Canyon Road in Santa Fe. We wanted to create a clean & minimal contemporary design that evoked the fiber arts (hence, the overlapping translucent plaid stripes) and intense yet earthy colors evocative of New Mexico and the Southwest.

We designed and constructed this site in early 2003 and provided ongoing maintenance on a timely basis. This included creating a new “current exhibit” page for each monthly artist’s show with a Fash slide show of the artist’s work. Images of new artworks were added to the web site as they come into the gallery and removed as they sold.

The flash slide shows on this web site were designed and optimized to be streaming and start almost instantly even on a slow dial-up connection. As the slide show progresses, the images continue to download in the background, so there is no delay at the beginning, nor at any point in the slide show. The movie loops back to the beginning, and then will continue to play, even after disconnecting from the internet. Play, pause, next and last buttons are provided so you can quickly go to any part of the movie, or pause and print out that image. These movies have been made backwards comparable to the flash 5 player and above, of which over 95% of all computers have.

The layout of this site is intended for medium to large monitors, and requires some scrolling on smaller monitors and/or lower resolutions.

James Koehler

This is a site about tapestry artist, James koehler:

"James Koehler is one of the most sought after weavers in the southwest, with his vibrant tapestries attracting the attention of important collectors and museums."

-Robert Ewing, former director
Museum of Fine Arts
Santa Fe, New Mexico

Designed in 2002, this site features the work of tapestry artist James Koehler. We wanted a minimal, undistracted look and feel for his site and chose a neutral black background to contrast the artist’s tapestries. We created a flash slide show based on images of the artist, his work, and the weaving process for the home page. We also chose to keep the layout of his images, on the edition and one-of-a-kind tapestry pages, clean & uncluttered, placing the title and size info on the following full-size detail pages.

We created a separate slide show on the weaving-process page that takes the viewer through the weaving process - from the dyeing of the wool, to the spinning, to the design of the weaving itself and how that is applied to the loom and to the technique of applying the various colors of yarn to the tapestry.
These flash movies are also optimized, and streaming.

Bodytherape

A web site for a massage therapy company in Santa Fe.

The setting for this Flash Movie takes place at a Japanese hot spring where the water is red. The steamy mist softly rises and falls in the background while a slide show of healing and massage images fade in and out. Additional pages provide online ordering of massage and health treatments with a credit card.

Howard Meehan

This is a
web site for public sculpture artist, Howard Meehan, of Santa Fe. We simplified his previous web page, which required navigating through numerous pages to see his various projects and commissions, (to see his previous web page, click on the “non-flash version” button) into one home page. It has a streaming flash slide show, so you can just “sit back and watch the movie”- no navigation required. Play, pause, next and last buttons are provided so you can quickly go to any part of the movie, or pause and print out that image. This layout is designed for small to medium sized monitors or larger. These flash movies are also optimized, and streaming.
