It's always a bit frantic getting ready for an exhibition even though you've allowed enough time. Did I make the right decision about the frames? are they all labelled correctly on the reverse? are all the wall labels printed out? Are they all packed well enough to survive the journey and handling? have I packed the emergency kit of screw driver, hammer, measuring tape, masking tape, small step ladder? Enough worries, off we go.
The Town Mill gallery in Lyme Regis is a beautiful open white space, newly decorated with an efficient hanging system. Once I'd got the hang of this system, I could space and level all the pieces well. I had the run of one long wall so all my work co-ordinated and carried the story line of plastic pollution effectively.
Our large banner which heralded the exhibition title fitted onto the large open door and read well. The three artists celebrated with a coffee and home grown and baked pumpkin pie.
Smaller pieces were grouped onto larger boards.
'Blue fish', 'Unknown species' and 'Bottle fish'
The row of plastic bottles ('Extinction') were hung from underneath a shelf, giving them an apt domestic setting. The spot lights created some wonderful shadows on the wall behind.
A good crowd attended the Preview on the second day with 2 and 4 legged friends.
Several sales were made so all started off on a good footing. Much relief all round
