the simple charm of leaving a pair of shoes just within the gallery space. actually, within a slim space created by a new special wall.
but leaving the shoes by the small door-like opening makes the gallery almost sacred. somewhere where one should take off one's shoes before entering. a place for pieces of clay rolled between palms and fingers like snakes, billowing faded curtains, additional nails marching in a row, a table made from an old door by a family member and a photograph of a sparrow perched on a front car seat.
ms newby wrote something on one of the walls in pencil, but I couldn't quite read it... I could almost make out the word "limit"...
