For me the process of "hatching" this series of exhibits has been another positive reminder of the 'letting go' refrain that is such a part of preparing for parenting. I am deeply grateful for the commitment these talented artists and curators have given me. They have embraced the concept of these exhibits and really run with it, allowing me time and space to hatch in other ways. And as the exhibit release describes, these three diverse shows also "explore personal, artistic, and textural hatchings and cross hatchings."
Curator of the April HATCHINGS exhibit, Robert Hardgrave, designed the sumi ink design below to illustrate the series postcard and poster. The shape of the image was intended to represent the intentions of the exhibit series: a texture of drawn hatching marks, and a five sided form representing the five of us involved - one gallerist, three curators, and one baby-to-be.
All HATCHINGS shows will be up on Cullom Gallery's website. Openings are on the first Thursday of each month from 6 to 8 pm. More on each show to come in the following days and weeks.
