Flower Power: Unfolding
  The Silverwood Gallery’s 2010 Invitational show is opening on Friday February Fifth.  This year’s theme is Flower Power !  Ninety plus artists are participating.  When I dropped off my monotype assemblage Unfolding  yesterday, Eric Heffelfinger had just begun hanging what promises to be a remarkable show.   Eric and Margaret Heffelfinger, artists and owners of Silverwood Gallery on Vashon Island, Washington, began their themed invitational exhibits several years ago.  The shows are always a visual treat and sometimes present a real challenge for the artist to create work within the parameters of the chosen theme.     My entry, a Monotype and wood assemblage, is titled Unfolding  is an attempt to visually describe the evolving process of growth affected by a changing environment or fluctuations of fortune.   Unfolding is approximately 22” X 14” X 2”.  Photo by Charles Backus.
