Wrapping It Up

Inspirational Objects collected through my life.

Celine discussing my work with a Tibetan Monk. An amazing conversation!




The "Wonderland "show at Numen Gallery has now been dismantled and hauled to the studio and home. The globes are like little abandoned beings looking out from glass cases, pouring out of bags and sitting on shelves without context.

Only a few pieces sold at the show. Most were small and not expensive. The difference between showing in a small gallery and at a huge event like the East Side Culture Crawl.

No matter because this was my favourite show. The experience of getting to know Scott and Celine, the thoughtfulness and care they put into installation, the interest and professionalism Celine maintained during the show was wonderful. It was exciting and an honour to be the first show in a brand new gallery.

I loved the work by the other artists in the Numen Gallery. It has also been carefully selected and presented. The space itself has been constructed to be a serene oasis. There is a presence of calm and beauty. The kind that lingers after the door is closed and the lights go out. The calm that stays with you and is savoured for later.

A few globes have been invited to stay at Numen. They will nestle there with the other work and look out on the excitement of the next show.
