Life Journey
Having a exhibiton of my recent work has helped me to get this blog up and running. I am not sure for how long but as with all blogs it is my intention to add a weekly comment.
The show " Life Journey' is the culmination of four years of consistent work developing a thematic study in producing a number of large drypoint prints. I have been working in various places over the last four years setting up a number of short stay studio places. The most recent studio, AP, (Aramoho Printmakers) has been my spiritual and physical home last three years. A single garage converted into a print studio overlooking the Whanganui River. An Idyllic setting and the perfect place to work.
The exhibition is in Solander Gallery in Wellington and is on show to the public until the end of the month. The opening evening was somewhat disappointing with a small crowd attending the launch. As with all artists and their openings I expected a large knowledgeable crowd lining up to buy the work. Sadly this was not the case. While all comments were supportive and a few notable people turned up for the event the evening was rather flat.
Arriving back in Whanganui feeling rather depressed it was a really great to get back into the Print Studio and print up different work for a client.
Already I am thinking about the next body of work. Not one to be down for long in my mind I have already packed the work away and consigned it to the plan file cabinet where all the other work sits.
