“AUMAKUA INSPIRED ART”

at The Lansdown Gallery Stroud GL5 1B 2nd - 13th Oct 2018

Report from Millies Exhibition - Aumakua inspired art at Lansdown Gallery in Stroud
I think exhibitions are strange affairs, even after 30 years of exhibiting. It is feels like giving a party and you wonder if anyone will turn up. If they do, will they be able to engage with the work and enjoy themselves? Or be a “White rabbit” with the words” I am late I don’t have time to Look? Maybe I will come back.” I am always pleasantly surprised when they do
Will the exhibition evoke a feeling, positive or negative? What will it be - joy, unease, dislike, excitement, amazement or as a person said after taking a long hard look at this exhibition?
“What art is this?” My response: “What do you think it is? (Silent in thought) What does it make you feel ?” He seemed lost for words, so I said: “Has it challenged you”, “Yes” was the immediate answer. My response: “Then my work is done”
Thank you one and all who did come to my exhibition (party) and cast an eye over my latest offerings. Chris as usual surpassed himself and put on an even more beautiful exhibition, it was hard work but worth it, to see the work in a gallery environment and see the pieces shine and say “Look at me!”. I have enjoyed my 12 days of doing very little except speak to people, about themselves, about their thoughts about the art work, and ponder my thoughts about my work. As the curtain goes down of this year’s exhibition it is time for the pieces to be herded into their containers waiting to be showcased at another exhibition and another response?
Cheers till next time
