My exhibition ends tomorrow and I am looking forward to bringing some of the pieces home. Below are a couple of installation stills of the caryatids.
Apologies for not posting anything for the last few weeks – I have been busy but perhaps more importantly I have had the second cataract removed from my eyes.
Having been all but monocular for the last few months has been a bit challenging but I am very fortunate that my eyesight has now been restored. And yes I can see all the wrinkles.
What good news – you of all people should have good eyesight! An artist’s eye!
Hope all is well,
Elephant
The caryatids look so good all together – hope people bought some as a group.
Thanks Anna – Yes one large group are staying together.
Thanks Elephant – I am very lucky that my eyes could be so easily fixed – not everyone is so fortunate. The hardest part is not getting water in your eye for a month!
Well, that would be very hard to do! I get water in my eye all the time! But you will be careful and you won’t get a drop in your eye! That is what my crystal ball shows me!

Perhaps you as the last person I will ask (and probably the sixth person I have asked!), will tell me how you came to look at the Polar Bears Share “A Memory of Home” post.
I can’t believe how many views this post has had! People look at it endlessly (at least in my modest blogging world) every day! How does everyone get there? PLEASE TELL ME!!!!! I have asked people before but they never respond. Maybe they think I am nuts or something for asking, but you already know how nuts I am (or am not), so I doubt you will be bothered by telling me. Is it some “automatic” place Elephant’s Picture Book interested people go???? Would REALLY like to know. I imagine it is a simple question – and I will feel silly about my lack of understanding, but a dumb question or not – I would appreciate knowing!
Thanks,
Elephant
Far from a silly question because I have also pondered sometimes the random ‘likes’ which appear to come from out of the blue. I am guessing that it happens when you have liked something in the reader And the person who has posted the blog page gets a notification that Elephant liked something and perhaps you might like to go and see what they have done. You get a selection to choose from – perhaps Polar Bears comes up more often than any other selection? This is how I came to it. Hope that makes some sense. Cheers

Those are beautiful. Each figure is so unique and expressive and I love their little boxes. Are those card catalogue drawers?
Oh, and I hope your eye heals quickly. I’ve had friends who have had cataracts removed and they’ve said it’s been like a miracle.
Nothing like being able to SEE!
Can’t agree with you more – it is a huge relief and improvement!
Thanks for your generous comment – no the drawers are vintage sewing machine drawers originally from treadle sewing machines and then early electric machines.
But file card drawers is an interesting option that I hadn’t thought about (and I have some already – must have a closer look thanks)
a miracle it is!
My eyes are deteriorating fast, keep upping the magnification power of my reading glasses. I wish I could see these caryatids in person. I think it would be hard to keep my hands off. Your caryatids are wondrous.
Thanks – glad you saw something you liked – it is always really interesting seeing/hearing people’s reactions to my work – often quite polarised.
