Belinda Wiltshire, who manages the Pea Green Boat studios, has created a gallery space at the front of the complex for one night shows. Artists who have studios there can book it and have an opening night. There are a lot of good things about this scenario, firstly it means that as it is not a proper gallery it doesn't have to be open to the public the rest of the time and none of us have to spend days sitting it. We can leave the work up til the next show goes up - usually a month between them - and bring people through if anyone couldn't make the opening. It is free and less formal than other galleries, which takes some pressure off so we can have more casual shows, and maybe show stuff that is a bit more experimental.
So a perfect setting for a show of sketches and photos taken while away at the Elephant Nature Park. I also managed, thanks to the superior technological skills of my brother, to have a series of videos I took projected up on the wall.
Tusk and Trunk Twisters. Am awesome drink invented by Michelle, one of the staff a the Elephant Park.
As the show was called 'Show and Tell' people started insisting that I say something, not just have all this stuff up on show...
