Using special markers the MAT-T system creates a detailed 3D computer animation of the movements of the player and the golf club that can be reviewed from any point of view. In addition to visual examination of a player’s swing, numerous tools are used to automatically extract and present many precise measurements of the golf swing. These tools & measures include club impact data, swing planes, body lines, center of gravity, x-factor, swing tempo, player overlay, shaft line, the ability to step into a tour pro’s swing, and many more. The MAT-T system also includes a launch monitor that measures the ball speed, launch angle and spin of the golf ball. The launch information is combined with the swing measures and results from a questionnaire to create a detailed player profile. The player performance profile is used to club fit for TaylorMade golf equipment that is best suited to you.

CHARLIE’S ANGEL
BY SHONA RAE
VALUE $250

Charlie’s Angel #72 is cast and constructed, one of a kind sterling silver, bronze on a sterling chain creation and part of the “2007 Smash Hit Television” series. Shona Rae’s creations won her numerous awards in Europe and North America for her sclptural art jewelry and her distinctive whimsical, joyous and simply brilliant creations. Shona’s inspiration for this series was old TV shows and she created unique, SINGLE pieces. One very lucky woman is going to wear this necklace.

Here is her artist’s statement:
“My lifelong fascination and study of fairytales, folklore, ancient religion and myth is a major influence in my artwork. Working with universal archetypes in the "2007 Smash Hit Television" series I used the figure to create one of a kind, sculptural jewellery that reflects my questions about the cultural phenomena of television. Is Television the new altar for worship? All seeing? All knowing?

As I was developing this body of work I was, at times, simply remembering childhood television shows; nostalgically recreating the characters as modern mythical creatures that could possibly dwell in my dreams or future myths. "Charlie's Angels" were important role models for many women in my generation. They were smart, strong, skilled and beautiful, leading the way to healthy female empowerment.”

I hope you can stay tuned for much, much more! You can contact Shona at srae@shonarae.com

Shona Rae's entire "2007 Smash Hit Television" series can be viewed at INFLUX Gallery over the next 3 weeks as well as her entire "Surreal" collection.

27 1/2’’ X19’’ INFERNO
BY PATRICK GRASSICK
VALUE $600

Patrick is a local artist who is represented by Ajax Arts Gallery at Art Central. Inferno is a 27.5’’ x 19’’ Acrylic and Mixed media Collage.

Here is what Patrick has to say about his work:
"The intention in all my work is to produce objects that are pleasing to the eye, that invite close and repeated examination, and that require the viewers to bring their own insights, interpretations and imaginings to the work. The pieces are meant as a kind of visual conversation to which the viewer contributes. I try always to begin with a bold color or graphic statement to capture the eye, and then to add complexities and subtleties that keep the viewer engrossed and involved. My aim is never entirely pictorial; while most of my work has a subject, I always try to attend to the painted surface as a subject in itself. I have always been a fan of vibrant color and of loose and gestural brushwork. I try to have fun with what I do, and at the same time push myself to tackle new subject matter, and new approaches and techniques. For me, it’s all a big continuing experiment."
