On Friday I shared some photos of the pieces that I am exhibiting in Fiona's and my
Light and Lines exhibition in Hand Held Gallery in Melbourne.
Fiona has shared a few photos of the opening night; but I thought I might just add a few of my own.
As you can see from the photo below Hand Held Gallery is quite small but with good lighting and people can see the works on display even when the gallery is closed. We did not have a big crowd but it was a quality group of friends, acquaintances and fellow artists who made the opening a success.

Fiona and I had limited ourselves to 10-12 pieces to fit the shelves and wall space available. I think it looked good without being crowded - as Fiona said "it looks like us".

I sold one of the Light Catchers (Wheelie light); and Fiona sold several pieces so that is always good - generous supportive friends.

Wonderful show - good to exhibit quality art to that Melborne lot - he he he
ReplyDeleteHi Barry - wonderful show! Love the dialog between the light catchers, and Fiona's work. Great to sell, too!
ReplyDeleteWatching the long slants of light begin to pierce through in the early morning forest.... got me thinking if you ever make outdoor light catchers? That's be something, as long as you didn;'t magnify and start any fires!
Looks wonderful - I wish you much success with this exhibition.
ReplyDeleteNice to see those red dots Barry. Thanks for your support at my opening.
ReplyDeleteLooks Great. All so creative - makes me smile when I see them. Hope you sell out. Although I'm always torn when/if that happens because I'm sad to see my stuff go. I enjoy making each piece and it becomes a part of me. Perhaps we are all like that.
