It was a great Great Wave reception on Friday evening, October 7, with so much of a feeling of being back.
Definitely back to the traffic ARRGGGHH!!!— where are all of these people going?
It was back to a gallery filled to the brim with hugs and high-fives. With artists and art enthusiasts expressing appreciation for the artwork and for our brief talk — they even clapped.
We might get used to this — receptions, events, screenings. YAY!
Our piece Remnant loomed over the crowd, expressing all of the power and "terrible beauty" of ghost fishing with the cast shadows animating the space with an underwater feeling.

Great Wave
Artists through the ages have looked to the ocean in all its majesty for clues about the planet’s future. This group exhibition features contemporary artists who live near the coast, and whose work immerses us in a watery drama. Organized by longtime Bay Area curator Ann Trinca, this show finds inspiration in the work of Japanese ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai’s ubiquitous woodblock print The Great Wave. The Great Wave is recognizable across cultures as a symbol of the unpredictable power of the ocean. Using this historic piece as a jumping off point, the artists in the exhibition explore the ocean as a source of mystery and resilience.
