Collage by Eron Boyd

We realize that many or most of our blogs are somewhat mysterious in their meaning. We hope that this allows you the viewer to imbue it with your own interpretation. This particular image represents Sae's immanent departure for a one month visit to her home in Japan. We will continue to

work together on the blog and Sae will sometimes send photos from Japan that we can share here. 

"Itterasshai Sae."

When we put up a group of collages, all done together on the same day, we look to see what the

common denominator is. It is not usually apparent in the first quick view but as we sit with

the images we find something that is true. In these works we began by observing Eron's collage 

(the one in the middle). It appeared obvious that the characters were floating. That fact helped us to look at both Sae's and mine (deborah's) to see if that applied and it did. The first collage on the left has no reference to ground and seems to be floating in the larger white space. Sae's (on the far left) has a shadow beneath the bowl like form but that could easily be floating upon water.

Perhaps, the title  'Floating' invites us to see each piece differently.

Just use your imagination

The question was:-  "What work wants to talk with Floyd?"

and the answer came; "Daniel"

Everyday we find yet another way that these two artists communicate through their work.

Daniel Hanequand's drawings are permanently on exhibition in the Drawing Room Gallery

on the third floor.

Rock Painting by Aveline Beauchamp

These drawings are by the late Daniel Hanequand and were donated to the gallery by his wife, who has also passed. They seem to have a natural affinity for this piece by Floyd Kuptana. It is always exciting to introduce different artists through their work, each one making something in the other more visible.

We thought if we can show some of what is inside the gallery

outside of the gallery

it may inspire more of those walking by to come in.

or

they can simply enjoy it in the moment of passing.
