in which our plucky heroine took a trip to Azure Fine Art Gallery where my most current artwork is on display....

Azure Fine Art Gallery, streetside view... The gallery entrance is inside a delightful arcade that is just to the right of their window
Deb rearranges the gallery space each month to suit the artworks that are on display. This month when you walk in, the room looked very homelike, albeit a home that is filled with resonant artwork.
Here is my work, on display inside "the birdcage". Deb added the river pebbles to the display, which really helps to both ground the pieces and to lead your eye inside. I have two shadowbox pieces in the show, plus my button crown. I have written about the first piece here, and about the second piece here, and there are more ideas for new work gradually percolating up to the surface of my awareness, so these will not be a pair of solitary siblings. It has long been a desire of mine to make artwork that is both a decorative home object and wearable art, that combine and separate and come back together, thereby blurring the boundary between life and lifestyle.

It was a great kindness that my Eugene friends then took me back south with them, for conversation and convivial company, as well as a guest bed and a pleasant morning walkabout their neighborhood (and a much easier trip back home the next morning) It is very difficult to get to Corvallis without a personal vehicle, while Eugene is plentifully served by a plethora of options.

hooray!! just so exciting i can't think of what to say, just very very happy and thank you for sharing on your page here :)
ReplyDeleteEven better to see such a harmonious setting for your artwork! It often happens that the environment adds little to the work or sadly overpowers it or clashes. In this case the setting provides a beautiful frame for your art, creating a special place, emotion and frame of mind in which the viewer can truly enjoy what you have created. Wonderful!!
