At the end of this month I will be taking my lace to Pender Island (British Columbia, Canada) for the Art in the Wash exhibition (Saturday-Sunday, August 30-31). I participated in the event two summers ago and it was so other-worldly that I dubbed it ‘the exhibition in paradise’.
I look forward to joining Stan Oglov and Colin Hamilton again and sharing my art with an eclectic, open-minded audience.
Our works are so different – Stan’s bold, strong and perfectly balanced metal sculptures, Colin’s organic, flowing wood carvings and my delicate and intricate lace – yet they merge, in a natural setting of a beautiful orchard garden, into one. I think what holds them together is the same force that inspires each of us to create, explore the craft and expand what’s possible. We have so much to talk about and when visitors engage in the lively conversation about art, love and life, the positive energy just grows and flows like waves of the surrounding ocean.
It might be just me, but I feel that this kind of human connection and communication is now needed more than ever…

If you have no other plans for the August long weekend, why don’t you come over for a creative meeting in the paradise?

And if you can’t be there in person, please check the message arriving on the ocean waves near you.

Keep creating and lacemaking,

Lenka
