This summer has been a whirl-wind of travel and collecting photos and memories. Iceland was absolutely amazing, especially as I love geology. The skies!!! The water falls, volcanoes, glaciers, moon scapes!! I just culled my photos down to about 1600. Now what? So many natural patterns, thoughts of glass making. In the mean time we just installed a new exhibit at Pleiades Gallery in Durham, and our theme for this show is “Assemblage”. One of my new pieces for this show is “Twist of Fate – Love Locks based on inspiration from love locks I have seen on the Brooklyn Bridge, a foot bridge in Norfolk and other bridges around the world.

If you live near Durham, NC, visit Pleiades Gallery (3rd Friday reception) and/or come out to Jim-Gin Farm in Chatham County for “Come out and Play” art and sculpture show, Aug. 26-27, and the next 4 Saturdays in Sept.
