So we headed for a back street and did Gallery 5, an old fire house, now gallery. It was our first time and a magical affair as we stepped from the dark into a room of glowing colanders and gleaming car parts, fashioned into lights sculptures, reflecting across the walls. Upstairs we almost made a purchase from Adam Juresko's wall of collages and paint. Some red, colour-test paint cards cut into triangles and satisfyingly patterned on rich brown board - perhaps next month...
Back at our usual haunt at 1708 things got decidedly brilliant - a miniature 'ice' rink for confined hockey games and us slip sliding about, all thanks to Eric McMaster of VCU. Sport and it's rigmarole and all the tensions of shifting the rules, conveyed with such palpable energy - we loved it!
