Sometimes we are sad

Well I have a few prints here at Lafrenière & Pai Gallery. It is for their show Eros from Chaos. Huh! Ain't that the truth!

EROS FROM CHAOS: THE CONTEMPORARY EROTIC IN JEWELLERY AND ART
May 9 to 29, 2010
Opening Sunday, May 9, from 3 to 5 pm.

Participating artists:
Jean-Denis Bisson Biscornet, Mimi Cabri, Matthieu Cheminee, Cynosure, Lalie Douglas, Emma Gerard, Jean-Eudes Germain, Emily Gill, Vivienne Jones, Valerie Knapp, Anna Jane McIntyre, Ann Pocket, Erin Robertson, Anneke Van Bommel, Annie Tung, Lucie Weir, Anna Williams, Lawrence Woodford.

Eros is a primeval deity who embodies not only the force of erotic love but also the creative urge of ever-flowing nature, the firstborn Light for the coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos. In Hesiod's Theogony, the most famous Greek creation myth, Chaos is the original dark void from which everything else appeared, first of which was Love (Eros) and Earth (Gaia).

Earth and Love, the first forces to emerge from Chaos. Let us celebrate this new decade in their spirit!
