Other World

So I'm having a hard time believing that my show is up and the whole adventure is coming to an end. I think this experience has made me realize how important it is to do things in life, hopefully outside of my normal, every day routine. I think every variety of new experience, whether fun, difficult, happy, strange, or what-ever, is an important and good thing.
OK, enough mushy-gushy.
The show opening yesterday went really well. I was amazed by the turn-out of people, and really touched by how everyone seemed very interested and curious. There were a lot of questions and the pieces seemed to make people smile a lot. Here are some images of some of the pieces and the space.

I have always found it a little difficult to explain my work to people, and to explain it to someone who speaks Mandarin is even more challenging, but definitely helps me to think about it myself.

The famous dancer Isadora Duncan once said "If I could explain what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it." This makes perfect sense to me.
Enjoy!

  1. Jill, I loved the way the light brought your pieces out and made them magical. The setting seemed perfect for your whimsical, quirky work. I am so glad to hear about your experience in Taiwan, it is good to absorb so much of other people's culture.
    Congratulations,
