This year I was pleased to have all three of my entries juried in.<\/p>\n
“A Delicate Balance” will be shown as a small dye-infused aluminum piece:<\/p>\n “Nature’s Rhythms” will also be shown on dye-infused aluminum:<\/p>\n The third piece, “The Observer\/The Observed,” which many of you have already seen several times, will be shown as an archival pigment print on fine art canvas:<\/p>\n I have to once again thank friend, fellow anthropologist, and writer Jim Stallings<\/a> for the fact this image is being shown at all. I created this image during a very dark time in this year’s winter, and showed it to only a very few people who were extremely supportive at that time. I had no intention at the time of showing it outside that small circle. Anthropologists, among many others, are aware of myth and ritual around the world involving birds of the crow\/raven family. Jim wrote a short poem as a gift to me and my family at that time.<\/p>\n Spontaneous Poem from a Treetop Crow<\/strong><\/p>\n In the lofty life of a wise old crow – Jim Stallings<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n After Jim wrote the poem, I decided to show it to others. It has been juried in to every show to which I have entered it. Thanks, Jim. <\/p>\n The opening reception is always a special evening for me, but this year will be even more so. Friends Tim (photographer) and Laurie (watercolorist), who have always come to the opening reception to support me, each have pieces in this year’s show! Tim Price will have “Through the Concrete Window,” a photograph done on film and developed in his own darkroom. Laurie Price will have “La Joconde,” her view of what waiting in the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa was like. You may preview their work on Tim’s blog<\/a>, and then see it this week at the Old San Ysisdro Church in Corrales.<\/p>\n Times for the show: A portion of all proceeds is donated for the preservation and care of the Old San Ysidro Church. Deconsecrated some years ago, the structure is important in the life of the community. I hope my friends in the Albuquerque area can visit during the show, and also those coming to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. <\/p>\n![\"Corrales](\"http:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20141009_IMG_1632-copy-web.jpg\")

\nSwaying in the topmost backyard branches
\nLike a magical clock counting down mortality’s coil,
\nMay it not be in some secret way
\nWe the awed observers
\nHave all along been honored by a wiser watcher?<\/p>\n
