[Update] The show was lovely, but it’s over now. I feel lucky that we had the opportunity to have everyone’s stuff up all at once in the same space. Lot’s of people commented that we’re a “really creative family.” I guess we are, but I never thought it was unusual. I just kind of assumed everybody did creative stuff. Everyone wears their own blinders, I guess.

I showed three video pieces. “Three Nights” and “Fortnight” are from my time-lapse photography exploration of sleeping patterns. “You” is a brand-new work (just finished it Sunday morning before the studio opened) which uses a live video camera and monitor at the bottom of a chin-high black paper tube. It was so much fun to watch people’s reactions as they looked in to see themselves in the reverse angle, peeking over the wall, Kilroy-style. There was much giggling. I call it a success.

It was sad to take all the stuff down Friday night. Big thanks to my cousin DJ (aka Dorothy Frey) for having us.

This month, Dorothy Frey and Angela Shope invite Jim L. Bowman, Linda Bowman, Tim Bowman, Amy Miller and Kent Miller to TWO Art events in Downtown Lancaster:

Art Sunday, October 2, 12 – 5 pm
First Friday, October 7, 5 – 9 pm

Dorothy Frey works directly from observation. Her paintings of trees and fields are like mementoes from daily life: experiences, places, times, ideas, and personalities deliberated through form and space found in nature.

Angela Shope is a full-time artist working in porcelain, oils and watercolors. She draws from many influences, from nature to fashion to cell structures. Her whimsical work is a celebration of color and self-expression.

October’s Visiting Artists: Relatives of Dorothy Frey, the Bowman family have a wide range of talents that they bring to the studio this month: Photography, Video, Digital Macro Panoramics, Ceramics, Jewelry, and Sculpture.
