1601

1601 is the name of a bare penthouse apartment perched above the lake, as well as an ephemeral exhibition that happened there this week. It was a great opportunity to dust off some of my old art and whip up some new.

Enjoying the art

The view

Out of the Blue

Sometimes when I am having a hard day, a sad day, a long slow day I think about the incredible possibilities that crop up out of the blue. The kind of surprises that make my day.  

I received a phone call two days before the group exhibition 1601 opened, the curators themselves had only received permission for the show 3 days before opening! They scrambled to find just the right art for the show, and i was so happy to be included.  But what to include?

I listed my options. I love lists you know. Something old, something new, and a dash down to the shop to buy an enormous amount of blu tack later -and I knew.

You will know too if you head up to the exhibition- tomorrow is the last day!
