Part of my art practise is using gathered items that I keep in boxes in my studio to assemble as they appear to work together...and along with some of my writings and poetry they often have a sense of "Momento Mori" about them.
I've always been a gatherer..and collector of ephemera and odd things!
It takes a while just looking at them and wondering what they are saying to me about the times we live in..and the time of my life too.
I sent off four of these hoping for acceptance in the next exhibition in Technically Brilliant Art Gallery in the Golden Square mall in Warrington.
I'm thrilled to say they were accepted.
"Foot of Clay"
"Venus of the Bay "
"Boxed in"
"Saint"
I must confess that I've been very remiss this year in finding the comments that my lovely faithful fellow bloggers have left for me!
So ..many many thanks to you who have read my contributions on an irregular basis.
I'm really trying to get back to blogland a lot more...it's such a gentle place to be!!
The last of the sunflowers.
Congratulations are in order Gerry. I miss you in Blogland. Do they still have the monthly 'craft fairs' at Grange and do you still go? I have friends who are thinking of moving to Grange and Itell them about you. I hope you are both keeping well.
ReplyDelete. Thankyou ...I think the fairs may still happen..but we gave up a few years ago...life became too busy in other ways. Though of course. This year has been a time of about face! I read your blog regularly..love the consistency of life. Stay well.xx
DeleteI think your 'Boxed in' deservers a medal for being so apt for 2020! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteJinksy..I'm sure that's why they choose it in the Gallery...many thanks..x
