brockley open studios this year happened early for us as we admired the opening of the memorial gardens in norwich by artist and bos organizer paul de monchaux albeit from afar though we had a lovely invitation and it is just as always that work gets in the way of more interesting things. paul's sculptures have an eternal quality and are weighty statements yet light and uplifting even when reminding us of a sad past.
it was his and ruth de monchaux' studio that we spent most time in the brockley open and it is not only their art but their company as well that we seek. the works on display and the atmosphere in the studios are genuinly refreshing my spirits and i was only half joking when i askled whether i could move in.
deac and rike were more adventurous and found a few newcomers that they liked but in the end the old favorites won and jeff soans again has a few creatures less in his hut. no party this year as we didn't have enough time to prep but later in the summer we hope to invite a few friends.
Wow, really surprising and interesting blog.
