About "the white gallery"



Last year 'the white gallery' started as a spontaneous experiment, best described as the experience of following myself within a time confined space (13 weeks, 16 July- 16 Oct), no preparation whatsoever... just curiosity... confronting seemingly non-existent expectations... (jumping into the deep end, remembering Joseph Knecht's ending towards the end of Herman Hesse's novel 'The Glass bead game', hahaha... so, yes.... scary!)

The blog soon followed, a means to register an end in progress. 


Means: tool
Register: express 
End: focuspoint
Progress: development

Cleaning frames and cutting backing.

Outside it's a different season every 30 minutes, a typical early spring day in Duirinish.

Back on track

Have been busy preparing the white gallery for business! 
(and.... tonite, playing around with a different Blog format, hahaha...)

These beauties checking out the shelf, keeping warm above the radiator!

I'll be around in April, May and June, 
working away in the gallery/workshop!
 Feel free to pop in for a wee nosy!
Lots of exciting new projects on the go...

A Beautiful Day

Suddenly it dawns on me, amidst all the conjured up thoughts about "how".
"How" to do this, "how" to do that, blah blah, blaaah...

WHY!
Why I hide. Why I've been hiding.

DAY 71

Final day was yesterday,
no fuss,
just let it happen.

This morning?
mmm...

HEAVY rather than HEADY

opening up resolves closure?

nothing to close off, 
just passing through having a look,
not sticking around getting bogged down,

taking leave.

making distance,
stretching the connection.

hahaha...
