If you can read Icelandic, unlike me, you will enjoy this review of my show -- with two Icelandic artists -- in the Reykjanes Art Museum in Iceland.  It appears in a prestigious site  from the University of Iceland.  Við sjónarrönd/Above and Below the Horizon is the title of the exhibition which is up until January 15, 2017.  I will write more about this in other posts.  This image is a collaborative piece that we three worked on using digital printing, etching, collograph and drawing with graphite.

And here is today's post about clouds.

The show has five artists: William Brayton, Gary Duehr, Phyllis Ewen, Ted Ollier, and Heidi Whitman.  In addition to the high quality of each artist's work, each one is a delightful, smart, and lovely person.  Set-up and the Opening were pleasures because of this.  Curated by Gary Duehr.

My friend, Shoshana, had many wonderful comments today on these pieces.  She understands the levels of meaning I am hoping to express.  That the work should be both beautiful and provacative; perhaps illustrating frightening occurences, such as the melting of northern glaciers and the damaging effects this is having on our rising seas, and frequent powerful storms effecting much of our planet, changing coastlines.  She saw human forms in the placement of certain of the puzzle pieces, which I had never consciously noticed.  She talked about how the motion of the separate elements was downward and we discussed the visual aspects.  We discussed the difference she felt between looking at a framed piece with the reflection it offered because of the plexiglas -- reflection in both sense of the word and for example, Northern Waters 8, which asks you to enter into the vortex.
