Hello folks!
Today i will attempt to catalogue
work inspired by Easter Island/Rapa Nui....
raves-yup. six months and i already have a huge list of pieces to do for this show..
Make it stop mom! make the voices stop!Thank you for the encouragement! :)
Jason-there is a hoard of wonderful African art,especially the masks
that share similarities with the lines and abstractions of some Polynesian art...
Sigh! Yet another avenue to follow and research...
I should be meeting with the gallery boys in the next few weeks
and hammering down a date for this.
it will be at the Caged chameleon gallery in Santa Ana
and it will be sometime in November...I will alert everyone when the details are solidified..
You and Monica are welcome to visit the studio anytime!
Just had a visit last Saturday from Sven and Naomi
before his SOUND OF TIKI presentation at Don's..
There's nothing better than to be able to visit with friends
in a quiet,slower atmosphere
engage in intelligent conversation
and share all the art in the studio with friends...
I find the feedback is more focused and all-encompassing!
:)
Toe-You Sir,are the cack-hand
and i the boffin...
