Showing Things We Have Lost

   Saturday past saw an impressive opening day as many artists of the gallery appeared in person to take in the event.  The Gallery looked absolutely terrific; Liz had done a major change to the whole space, with lots of works on display throughout.
    Some artists had created works especially for this theme, and others had found in their inventory works that were closely linked.  Keys and children's mittens hung out with much  deeper and even moving subjects, and graphics were often used to help with the ideas.  The key words from the poster design flowed through the display giving a unity to greatly varied formats arranged on the walls and on related plinths.  Several artists also added poetic labels to intensify their message, and it was a pleasure to see works  about an "abstract" theme.    Here are a few photos I was able to take on Saturday.
