Close by Lindsay


Lorraine's sketchbook is a real treat from beginning to end with great work by everyone. Lindsay's addition is a quartet of richly colored miniature landscapes set into small square frames. Looking at each of these images is like peering through a window into an open expanse alive with light and color. The matted format and expanse of paper suggests a calm stillness, contrasting nicely with the energetic flow of Steph's work on the preceding pages. The bar has been set very high by all of the contributions to Lorraine's book - I hope I can keep it going!

Lindsay - how cool! A miniature exhibition of your Lake Michigan series. That is a fabulous idea. They look great!

Lindsay said...

Thanks Gesa. Brian's done a nice job photographing it too! I actually cut out the windows in the pages of the book and pasted in the pictures from behind.

Lindsay said...

Brian, may I use your photo please for my blog?

Of course, Lindsay!

Lindsay said...

Thanks Brian!

Lindsay, this is an ingenious way of adding you work to this moley, and really ties in with the Close theme. If the Moleys do end up exhibited in Co Antrim, as Lorraine suggested a while back, I wonder if I could arrange a similar display in my own living room. I'd love to be able to view them all alongside each other.

Lindsay said...

Thanks Steph. I second that idea!

Oh! This is my moley. It looks so lovely. I'm so looking forward to seeing it.
And, yes there will be an exhibition in Belfast in March 2009As soon as the date is confirmed I will let everyone know.
But I think Steph's idea is great, it would be fantastic for each of us to have the oportunity to see them all!

That's great that the exhibition plans are moving along, Lorraine! And yes, there's nothing stopping us circulating a wee parcel with moleys once through the group again after that... what a good idea!
