Tonight is the opening of Re-Thinking Trash, an exhibition of works entirely made from discarded materials and is my first showing of non-photographic work. I'm so very pleased with my 5 works that will be on display, and for sale, at Coalition and I hope you can make it by to see these and the other artists’ work.
For me, the big surprise is that the gallery owner was so in love with the titles to my pieces that he asked me if I would read some of my poetry at the opening this evening. Now, I've been writing poetry since I was a young girl of 8 or 9, but it was only recently that I have had my poetry published (thanks Jenny at Mountain Bluebird!), and I have never read my work in public. So this is a momentous occasion for me, hopefully one that I can get through without too much nervousness. I certainly don't have my poems memorized, but perhaps I know them well enough to get through without stumbling too much.
I would be ever grateful if your presence was a possibility this evening. If location or other things keeps you away, please send me good vibes at 5:30pm… Maybe someone will video it and I can share!
Be seeing you! 🧡
