Welcome to Revelation Unraveled, I'm your host, William Tapley. Today I'm going
to do a very special short program; I'm going to give you a tour of my sculpture
garden in the background and that's because I am celebrating my ninth
anniversary here by YouTube. I started nine years ago on July 31st,
2008. I'm going to post a link to my very first video which was about the evil
number 666. So let's begin with the tour. I think I will record this in 4k; I
just got a new camera this week, my previous camera went on the fritz. So the
gate is open, let's go through and, by the way, if any of you would like to visit my
sculpture garden this summer, I'm open Sunday afternoon from 2:00 until 4:00.
And any of you, my subscribers, are certainly more than welcome. The first
thing we see is not actually a part of sculpture garden, it's my corn patch, and
I have a few beans and tomatoes and mostly weeds and eventually I will
probably block that section off. And as we enter you begin to see some of my
sculptures in the background. And I thought we could maybe take a trip off
to the left here, and the first pathway is down to a set of three more
sculptures in the background. Most of my sculptures are made out of
plywood held together with polyester. On the left you see a concrete statue; this
is one of my brother's favorites. And I have these sections divided up into what
I call rooms. It would be like a museum and this is an exterior museum, so to speak.
So let's take this central path here and I have arranged a flower patch off to the
left here. Some of the people like to see these flowers.
I've got quite a few digitalis; they grow up here like weeds and they are biennial so
some of these plants will bloom next year and I have like purples and white.
And the lighting is kind of difficult probably for the camera because this is
a bright sunny day up here in the Adirondacks and although it's very nice
at this time of year in the wintertime it's completely different. Now, this is my
larger back room I would call it and I feature a canopy in the background and I
have some of my mother's paintings on display. I did have some of my brother's
at the grand opening several weeks ago. And I won't take you behind the tent
because I haven't fully developed that area yet; I hope to have a lot more
artwork back there. Here on my left, and in the center of the picture now, we have
the only full life figure I have ever done: I call this one "Miss pro-life,
sidewalk counselor". I did this back in the days when I was very active in
picketing Planned Parenthood and I had a lot of success doing that. The most
gratifying thing I ever did was to convince a young lady not to abort her
child! You will never know how, really I guess you could say, inspiring that was
to me and you'll never forget when you do something like that. I recommend
counseling in front of Planned Parenthood and you will find that most
of the young ladies who go into Planned Parenthood to abort their babies
are black babies. If you want to talk about "black lives matter"
you should talk about unborn black lives mattering.
And you'll never find these liberal black organizations like the
NAACP oppose abortion which kills black babies
at double the rate of white babies. Well, I'm going to get off my soapbox and go
back to my tour. This was one of the other young ladies who posed for me. In
the background we see an image of the Madonna and Child; this is a polyester
with a kind of a bronze cast to it and opposite that Madonna and Child we have
another Madonna and Child. Both of these are abstract versions; I'm going to zoom
in a little bit and you can see what that one looks like. I'll zoom out and take you
down this back trail back to where we started from. And I have the walls
right now made out of cheap plastic tarp. I hope to have maybe wood walls at
some time back here and you see some more of the digitalis also known as foxglove
on the right. As I say, they grow like weeds up here; that was my mother's favorite
flower. I do have a few sunflowers behind this abstract and behind all this you can
see some of my father's chicken barns. My father was a chicken farmer along
with being an artist and an art teacher and a history teacher and at one time we
had 2,000 chickens. As I grew up, all of us kids had separate jobs; my particular
job was washing the eggs. My brother fed the chickens; my one
sister graded the eggs and candled them, my other sister packed them.
So we had a family farm and as you can see I've now changed it into a sculpture
garden and my brother also participates in the sculpture garden providing art at
certain times. So the family has adopted more of
my parents' aptitude in art rather than raising chickens. So I still can't say
that I really make professional videos; I have improved a little bit I think as
far as my on camera presentations go compared to my very first video. But it
has been a very amazing and interesting nine years; I hope you've enjoyed my
videos and I hope you enjoyed this one and continue watching.
