Explanation - the Internet was down at the gallery so whilst I was there all day setting up the exhibition with my lovely assistant Ros I could not record events as they unfolded.
We made it on time and even had an hour for a quick break for food and lots of tea, then it was back to open up for the preview. In all honesty I didn't have the turn out hoped for but the people who did support the exhibition made the evening a joy, so thanks Sam, Phil, Luke, the couple from 'Whitemoor' and a great big thanks to Charlie and Dan Radcliffe for their support. But heh out there to all the artists from the press gallery - support the gallery, support the artists - we need to encourage a healthy creative community in St Austell and it starts with all the artists going that extra mile, or just a quick trip into town...'unison' is the key word.
So onwards to Redruth and now it is all installed in the libraries gallery and looking good. The space is fantastic, each piece can have its own area to settle and give the reader the room to contemplate. The dates now have been extended at the Cornish Studies Library to Thursday 11th April, and I shall be around for poem discussions whilst packing all the pieces up. In the meantime here are some shots from the galleries....
Just a mention to the great exhibition at 'Heartlands' from the John Harris Society, please go along to support this and see some fabulous contributions from the first years on the FdA English Studies course at Truro College.
