Tomales Bay, relief print, Peter McLean, 2011
The Great Northern adventure is not quite finished (a few days left in Helsinki), but it is time to cast my mind back to California as I will be showing the work created there last year at Fog and Fault Lines, a new exhibition at Megalo Print Studio and Gallery in Canberra. I was invited to participate in the JB Blunk Residency by the Lucid Art Foundation, located in Inverness, West Marin, and spent two productive months there. Actually, I often cast my mind back to California, and Inverness in particular. I felt so at home there, like that place and I were really beginning to understand each other, especially the hills and forest around JB’s very special house. The prints and drawings that will be shown in Megalo’s gallery still make me feel like I am looking into the eyes of the spirits of the land, speaking to me with a voice I can’t quite understand.
The show will be opening on August 2 at 6pm and will run until August 18. Megalo is at 49 Phillip Avenue, Watson, ACT, Australia and is open Tuesday to Saturday 9.30am – 5.00pm.
