Hanging Marking Moments

This afternoon Fiona and I worked with Edith-Ann (art coordinator of Up-Front Club) to hang our mini exhibition in the Up-Front Club (our local cooperative arty cafe-coffee shop). We have titled the exhibition Marking Moments to reflect: Fiona's works about journeys and pausing at points along the journey; and my work about creating quiet places where people can pause, reflect and revive for the life journey ahead.

I will post on it more fully tomorrow when I have the opportunity to take some clear photos of the pieces in situ in the middle of the day.

 However, I did take a series of 6 photos on the iPhone (in poor light) and used the Autostitch app to join them up  - so I thought I'd share that stitched photo. It shows the 8 hanging  personal shrines in place and the one wood free-standing one on a plinth to the right. The shrines look pretty good against the burgundy background.

    A lovely spot for a cup of coffee and to meditate on your shrines. I look forward to it.

    They look great against that wall...and I do love the idea of a small personal shrine, I think it's something we could do with these days, a small special place in our houses to stop and reflect.

    Sorry Barry, can't make it on Thursday. Have an opening of Lions Art For Leukaemia at Nambour, where I have twelve paintings hanging. Break a leg.

    TT- thanks re title - subtle message - I love it when Fiona and I brainstorm these things and hit on a title that just links the sentiments, messages and passion that sits behind our work. Go well. B
