Saturday night I participated in the Mixed Media Meet Up and Swap at
The Empty Spaces Project's Gallery on Main Street in Putnam, CT. Participants were to bring 10 items to swap. A few rusty bits, feathers, beads, rusted cotton, tea bags, keys, metal stencils and metal letterpress were among my offerings. I was as curious to see who would select my bits as to see what others would bring. With 15 minutes to make our selections, I completely forgot to watch!
These goodies, however, came home with me.
Looks like you came home with more than 10.
ReplyDeleteWell...technically yes. Very few items were truly just 1. Most were groups or sets.
DeleteBrilliant idea - will suggest to a few artist friends
ReplyDeleteIt really is a good way to clean out the studio a bit. In this case, the plan is for there to be an exhibition of work made using at least 2 of the bits selected. There's a due date and 2 themes. Adds an extra bit of excitement. Enjoy!
DeleteHi J - sounded like fun; and you came home with a good creative stash. B
ReplyDeleteIt was fun Barry. Now to figure out what to do...
DeleteWhat a gorgeous-looking bunch of stuff! It would have been fun to see where your offerings headed; but maybe you'll see them appear in an artwork or two! Sounds like you survived the whole extroverted experience pretty well.
