Yesterday Alan and I went in to Granville Island for the opening of Keith Rice-Jones’ show ‘Size Matters’ at the Gallery of BC Ceramics. He worked on the ideas for these large garden pieces while on a 3-month solo residency at Sturt Pottery in Australia. The work looked fine in the gallery space, on plain concrete, in September sunshine.

As gallery manager Sharon Cohen said, it was a complete contrast to the previous wildly colourful show by Laura VanderLinde. September is a great time for a show there – I am remembering my ‘Ornithikos’ show which opened at this time 7 years ago. It launched my jugbirds and was a very exciting time for me.

Two guests were Ken (photographer and sculptor) and Carol  (ceramics curator) Mayer,

Best wishes for a successful month, Keith.
