Cool in the Shade Warm in the Sun
An autumn story
Inside the Chambers of the Heart
light enters
Look Up!

Not Just Hanging...
..a new installation in the collage gallery.
Who Let These Guys Out?
Have a good weekend
View From the South Shore
These collages were sent to us by our comrade collage artist Vivian Felsen.
We miss working with her in person but we appreciate any and all communication.
A Visit to the Stone Yard
What has weight and gravity
a history more ancient
than our fleeting existence
polished smooth by eons of friction
something which does not disappear
Upstairs/Downstairs
...meeting on the landing
You Can't Be It and See It
All you need is a cardboard box
Watching You Watching Me
Looking for children's books today we found 'The Tea Party in the Woods' by Akiko Miyakoshi.
The similarity to yesterdays 'Ancestors' is striking. They seem to be looking at each other.
Windows are the Eyes
The immense satisfaction of polishing the glass until it disappears
when the outside shines inside
the two become one
Floyd is Back
After many months of isolation Floyd appeared today sitting across from the gallery.
We had our first visit six feet apart. Much laughing together and story telling, from him.
A Change of Palette and Presence
To be visited at the very top of the ascending gallery
Liberating Whale
Today we took 'whale' off of its stretcher.
The stretcher resembles some kind of strange skeleton.
Seeing it leaning against the wall it became potential
for something other, a new form to inhabit.
"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in"

A Visit to the Farm
Riverdale Farm in the heart of the city.

Trying to find a bit of shade
The Magic of Mirrors
Looking at what's behind me in the collage gallery.
Simple fun is the best
water
floating balls
feet
A struggle to get through to open sky
No sky
but a path
and a place to sit
Collage in the Time of Corona
During these past three months Eron Boyd has been
unusually prolific creating collages. It is this work
that we have chosen to be the reopening exhibit in the
Collage Gallery. It will be available to view as of this
Tuesday June 30.
Good News
Today we had our first meeting with everyone at the gallery to discuss when we will reopen.
It was decided that next Tuesday June 30 we will be our first day back.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you sometime soon.
If any of you would like to come at a time when you could be assured of having the space to yourself
we would be happy to be here at 11am for you.

New work in the Up North Gallery
Creating the Subject for a Painting
In the corner of the Genesis Gallery
In the presence of green
Today we moved the plants from the east genesis gallery to the upstairs library.
In this different space each plant became revealed again
unique and exquisitely beautiful
their energy surprising and overwhelming
quiet and contained.
They know how to be what they are.
Cleaning Day
Today the sky was high, the wind was strong, the air was fresh.
It may not be possible to bring order to the world but we can clean and order our own environment.
The act of cleaning is physical it pulls us into our body and quiets the mind.
At the end of the day there is real satisfaction. This was today.
Hard to Comprehend
puddles and clothespins
scissors and cups
holding together
cutting apart
as different as coffee and tea
reflecting choice
Challenged to be an Individual
Collages by Eron Boyd
Who Is Being Hurt?
A question to ponder
Sunny Skies, Underwrap and Stacked
Still, no way in.
Greening
