| Dear Kevin We hope that you're having a wonderful summer. Here in the gallery, it seems like the summer is flying by and we bet the same is true for you. And, if that's the case, we thought you might be surprised to realize that our exhibit of Beth Moon's evocative series, Odin's Cove, will end in just a week on Saturday, July 28. Many of you have made it in to the gallery to see this wonderful depiction of a mated pair of ravens who reside on the west Marin coast but, if you haven't or if you want to see it again, there's just a few more days. Beth says,"Odin's Cove is about a sense of place. It is a celebration of the beauty of nature in a visually stimulating landscape where untamed bramble and ivy suggest ancient origins. Where a regenerative view of the earth can be found in the lush cliffs that gently slope to the sea, where music can be heard in the beating of a raven's wing." Beth's project, made up of large-scale platinum prints, evolved from a series of trips to the California coastline where "I developed what I can only call a friendship with a pair of ravens," she explains. Over a three-year period she made many trips to this unique area and as her relationship with the ravens grew, she says, they "taught me many things about their lives and personalities. Part pirate and part prophet, makers of magic and mischief, their throaty calls can be heard echoing through these hills. This series portrays their trust in me, their loyalty to each other, the territory they rule, and their life in the wild." |
