"When Dreams visit dreams"


These works will be on show at the Expressions Art Gallery Upper Hutt  from the 24 th of February till the 1 of April  2012



We all live in our own world yet continually mix with the outer world, however it is quite unique that we communicate at all because most of our world is so private.

We are like drops of water fusing together to make a puddle

We walk along with others in life and share and yet we are alone.

It is that aloneness that creates our individual interpretation of life

"One walks around oneself in a circle and keep on meeting oneself in unexpected places"

    Hello Robert
    It's interesting to 'return' to TLC via cyberspace and see what you (and others who were there in the late 90s) have been working on in more recent times. Interesting also to be reminded of your passion for 'meetimg yourself in those unexpected places. It's a wonderful gift to have those awarenesses.

    The quilt design above reminds me of some of Ralph Hotere's work. He was such a humble man, with huge talent and generosity.

    Warmest regards,
    Jocelyn Munro
