The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
I ended last night's Forest Hill Art Walk by attending Chuck Scalin's opening at Nest. The Forest Hill artwalk was fun and I had the heart photo (shown in my last blog) at Epoch. My visit at Nest was short but fun. The place was packed! There was a great food spread in the gallery where Chuck's work was hanging. His prints were colorful and the photos of the architectural details were haunting and large. I tried to make my way through the cozy space which is Nest, only to come face-to-face with the artist, Chuck Scalin!
"Hi!" he says, "I'm Chuck Scalin, the artist in the other room." " Yes", I say, "Jamie Weinstein, I have my art in the other room. I make the skulls and other pieces. I took some pictures of your pieces, I hope that's okay". "Of course, it is! Then you must know my son" he says, "thanks for coming, it was great meeting you". Awesome short interaction. I grabbed a glass of champagne, ate a brownie and left. I actually got locked out after stepping out of the crowded gallery to eat my brownie! Then I went and hung out with my husband since the baby was already asleep. The perfect short little evening!
