Exhibition

Posted on by thenearestwitness

The exhibition has now come and gone! I compared it to cooking, another keen interest I have. One can spend hours deciding what to make for a special occasion, buying all the ingredients, chopping, cutting, mixing blending, waiting for it to cook, plating it in a pleasing way, serving it and then within minutes it has all gone.

This was pretty much a similar process for the exhibition but instead of serving food, I was serving my art, my response, my story.

I had some very kind and generous feedback to my exhibition and this was very moving, I even had one man contact me via email, must have picked up one of my cards at the exhibition, thanking me, his ending words were ” your work worked for me!”

The most moving was a lady who cam to me and said ” I was a carer of my mother for 10 years, she had dementia and your work says it perfectly, it is beautiful and I am moved”

I had to really try hard not to shed a tear, as this is what I have been working for all these months, to raise awareness of dementia and the way it affects the carers.

Thank you!

In awe and repect To remind one of the qualities, wisdom,compassion And help others to develop. I build a shrine to settle my mind to create a positive energy and to say “Thank you” for all that you have done, have been and will always be.

Don’t look at me now, try to look at me as I was.

Journal me, follow me from then to now.

I don’t want to look at myself now, not just now.

I don’t want to forget who I was, unique/beautiful..

I said ” we all love you very much ”

you said ” yes, I remember that, because you tell me that every time you see me”

So tell me now just like you ,you.

I am beautiful now and always was.
