First we stopped in and said hello to Dede Peters at the ddp gallery. This month she is showing paperworks.
Sometimes a 10 1/2 year old can dig the art scene. Sometimes, not so much. Or maybe it's X-Box withdrawal... So, instead, he kind of becomes part of the exhibit.
In this photo (above) we are in the Vault gallery. Inside this echoing chamber various resident artists' works are hanging in what once was the underground bank vault.
Maggie Ivy was the main artist this evening (this month.) Her current love is pencil and charcoal drawings. (You can see the door into the Vault on the back wall of the gallery where her show is hanging.)

I also love seeing work in progress. This is a photo project Megan's named "100 Flashes of Memory," which I find especially intriguing. She has affixed dreamlike images, photographic images, on small blocks (about 4 inches square I estimate) and I can't wait to see the final results.

What happens when I have a little too much time around the house, with a pair of scissors, a gluestick, and a Sundance catalog.


Something didn't seem right. The light was not the same as before.
Both my headlights were burned out.
I'd been driving around with my fog lights on...
Funny how that is both a literal and allegorical description for the last couple of weeks of my life.
