Curator Statement

As curator of the exhibit, I would like to thank first and foremost, my fellow exhibitors for making my job so easy as well as for the inspirational collaborative exchanges on both the creation of our pieces, depth of understanding the theme, as well as the grind of administrative work. You are awesome.

I’d also like to remember in fondness and gratitude Andrew Svedlow, who originally arranged this exhibit with the Tointon Gallery under the title “color, line, form”, a group exhibit featuring artists from Artworks Center for Contemporary Art in Loveland.  I apologize, Andrew, for not being able to carry out that theme as you foresaw it, but hope, looking down upon our exhibit, you are satisfied with the final outcome, (which actually still contains your elements) which would be a huge compliment, considering your refined artistic standards.

A shout out of appreciation to the Tointon Gallery, especially Stan Scott, who shared his expertise and patience generously. It was the start of the Christmas holidays when we were faced with a sudden change of theme and artists, a challenge eliciting our quickest and most professional abilities. I think we did really well.

Finally, I would like to thank each and everyone of you visiting the exhibit and those of you taking the time to look through our website, read our write ups and connect with our theme. It is my hope that you experience a sensory break from the daily routine, and maybe even fresh inspiration, curiosity, surprise. Although each of us created these works in the joy of personal hermit-like processes, being able to put them out into the world and having them seen, is a special privilege. Thank you for sharing that with us.
