Exhibition of prints and cards

The fabulous space which our friend Kostas Houpas has created in Lamia, Studio Project Photography, inspired me to arrange an exhibtion of prints and cards this February. That sounds like a  major undertaking but in fact it all happened really easily, surrounded as I am by proactive and creative people. The Vittas brothers undertook all the printing-everything on canvas and wrapped around light wooden frames with hanging wires,  Kostas H did the actual hanging and Grace made an amazing cake.

I decided not to display too many different prints but to repeat many of them in different sizes. The thinking behind that was mainly aesthetic but also because I thought it would be easier for people to visualize the works in their homes that way.

So, we had lots of Whirling Dervishes...

 A herd of colourful elephants...

four sea turtles...

a pod of whales...

lots of cards....

seahorses...

black and white pebbles, shells and seweed and an illuminated seahorse. 

The star of the show proved to be this little elephant....

He attracted lots of buyers-some wanted small prints and others ordered larger ones and one family asked for him to be made into a plexiglass light box, with just one Led lamp within it so that he can be useful as night light in a child's bedroom . Blue Elephant was very pleased with himself :) 

Above all, it was such a nice way to spend a week in chilly February-great excuse to dress up, get out be with old friends and make new ones. Huge thanks to everyone who helped and who came, including my friend Elaine, who popped over from the UK for the weekend :)
