After a few hours of shuffling and climbing up and down ladders The Birds is up at Hudson.
One of the nicest things about hanging in a space like Hudson is the opportunity to cruise around looking at all the stuff. And they have STUFF…. Astonishing toys from Japan, Funky clothes and rabbits smoking cigarettes. I really do want some of those rabbits and Godzilla-like monsters. Nikki had some great Brazilian music (they are big on Brazilian music in Japan – who’d have thunk it), and a totally cute CD of kids singing M.i.s.s.i.s.s.i.p.p.i. – I think it was something about Snoopy. I could have spent big money and walked away with armfuls of stuff. I was very restrained, and thank goodness the sizing is smallish so there wasn’t much for me. Oh but it’s good in there – be warned.
Loading my car was a bit of an embarrassment – it’s hard to know how much work to bring, and one doesn’t want to look ridiculous with expectations of plastering spaces with work. Luckily it all fitted well. There are over Thirty pieces in the show: Nine small/medium works, Thirteen small box canvases, Nine framed postcard-sized works, plus assorted birds and nests.
It’s good – it’s up, it’s waiting, come on down. 🙂
I went yesterday afternoon – and you all must go! Well worth a sticky beak – fantastic work and the front window is amazing!
well, you are a clever, clever thing! looks terrific in the pics. now to get down there in reality. might be close to the area on friday so i’ll see how my time goes…
Looks great, well done! You must be so glad it’s all over.
The paintings look awesome. I love seeing them all set up like that. Brilliant ideas you have there! Birds… .. who would have thought they could look so cool.
Good luck with the show Michelle, you sure are one very busy lady!
