Well, I’m in the midst of my Saturday morning decompression after a show. It’s a period of trying to gather all the bits and pieces of conversation, names and faces into some sort of order so that they remain in my memory in a coherent form. It’s a struggle and I find myself fretting over the faces and names that might have slipped through the sieve of my memory. So, I try to relive some of the previous night in my mind, hoping to jog my memory in some way.
It was a nice turnout for the opening, actually better than expected given the events taking place in town at the same time. Many thanks to everyone who stopped in at the West End Gallery, especially to those who made special efforts to attend. And a special thank you to Linda and Jesse at the gallery for the hard work they put into that gallery, against all odds maintaining a nurturing space that allows artists such as myself a place to show their work in their home area. The work they do often goes unnoticed and unappreciated but plays a vital role in maintaining the cultural vibrancy in a region that has struggled mightily in the economic sense over the past decades. So, from those who attended to Lin and Jesse, I am ever appreciative of everyone who took part in last night’s opening. Your support has carried me through a lot of rough patches through the now almost twenty years of showing my work at the West End.
I am so grateful. Thank you…
