‘The Returning Tide’…
https://www.jenniferaustin.co.uk/about
I saw that there’s an exhibition of Jennifer Austin’s porthole seascapes in the Orkney Museum, Tankerness House and I thought… Portholes - Portals - The Sea - The Sky - Oh My! ...and worked my days around being able to go to see them…..
Approaching the door to the exhibition-room, we see ‘Sun Down Shimmers’ in the distance – a taste of what’s to come …
Walking clockwise round the room, I’ll present the images which most appealed to me – a purely personal preference.
‘Moon Jellies’
‘Sun lit’
‘Moon lit’
‘The Returning Tide’
‘Sun Down Shimmers’….
And finally ‘Sea light – Blue Velvet’…..
This is actually printed onto the light fitting - imagine!
These images, and how they’re presented, did me good. They’re the kind of art-work that takes you out of yourself and into clear, open spaces to help to clear your head. Very much needed in these times.
It’s not a big exhibition – but it’s full of light and LIFE - beautifully lit. It runs until the 25th October.
Opening Times:
Monday to Saturday
10:30-17:00
(Closes between 12:30-13:30)
