When I walked into the gallery Monday morning I immediately gravitated to the newest arrivals: Patti Normand‘s playful sculptures. These nostalgic and witty works have played in my mind all week.
You walk up and down everyday, so why ignore the wall space at the bottom of the stairs? It’s a perfect spot for a dreamy waterscape, adding perspective and calm to a hectic day.
I often like to switch around the art I have. A new context brings new life and appreciation to the piece, the room, and ultimately, to my happiness. There’s no better feeling than rediscovering an old favorite , or noticing a detail of a painting you never noticed before – now that it’s in better light. The new grouping here above the yellow chair is of an older piece newly framed, and a newer portrait which I love. I sit on my couch directly across from these women, and I love the colour they bring to my space, as they stare back at me!
Peter Andrew's photographs are often shot from obscure places or points of view. Whether in a remote area of Iceland, or outside a helicopter capturing a highway below, these vast, unpopulated scenes are always cinematic.
