On the way I stopped at the Ashburton Art Gallery to see the Llew Summers collection. Good to do, an impressive variety of New Zealand art. Outside the gallery in the part were two Llew Summers sculptures – this one and Butterfly, the names and the moods are tender and fragile, the sculpted people are very heavy & round yet they capture the moods they portray well.

Quote from Jorge Luis Borges

I am back from the Mt. Cook trip and will put up stuff soon, but before those mountain pictures I though this was a pertinent quote.

A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face.
