Build Your Altar To This Moment
Sheilah Wilson at Enjoy Gallery Wellington
Frances and I attended our friend Sheilah Wilson’s opening at Enjoy Gallery, Cuba St, last Wednesday 12 June 2013. Enjoy is Wellington’s experimental exhibition space.
The exhibition made a fundamental statement about light as the forum for the projection of (the illusion of) our lives. The historical material itself stimulated another imaginative speculation about the artifice of the backdrops and the intent of both the absent subjects and the photographers who arranged them. The sum of it all was a powerful shift in mood from the mundane of the street to an eerie awareness of changing time, space and human occupation.
Great show, Sheilah.
Thanks Paul! That was so sweet of you and Francie to come down… you are both the Best.
