Art and about

Barry and I are still on the road, but have set up camp in New York for a bit.

We have seen some beautiful art and imagery along the way. Lots of stunning rusty bits in Arizona...the number of time we could have filled bags with gorgeous rusty bits was amazing. This is a rusted fan within a casing at an old gold mine. And a forgotten piano. Sigh.

Next we ventured to Tacoma and would you believe the Glass Art museum there was showcasing Australian glass makesrs? We were familiar with many of them and it felt great to see their work in such a fabulous gallery space. This is Jessica Loughlins's 'Open Space'.

And this is a shot of the Museum - the funnel is where the glass blowing occurs. The artwork is 'Water Forest' by Howard Ben Tee.

We enjoyed our time in Portland OR, Barry spent a day with master metal worker Greg Wilbur, I visited a great exhibition with calligrapher extraordinaire Carol du Bosch, and excitedly attended the opening of Eco Editions at the wonderful 23 Sandy Gallery. It was a great evening and I was thrilled to meet Laura in person, and to see that two of my wee books "We have bee-n warned" had been sold as well. What a thrill!  Laura and I at the opening.

We also visited the Portland Art Museum and came across Moshe Kupferman's exhibit "A Hoard of Signs" here are some lovely details of pieces all called 'Unknown'.

And thence to New York, where on our first morning we woke to a winter wonderland...

Thanks for coming along as we go along....
