...last chance to see the Lygia Pape at the Serpentine Gallery!

The Lygia Pape exhibition was made more beguiling by its contrast to the David Hockney which I visited the day before.http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2011/03/lygia_pape.html
The Serpentine on a freezing cold morning was an oasis of calm and quietness with Pape's thoughtful, thought provoking and challenging work filling the white spaces.
Of particular interest to me were her spare woodcuts and ink drawings. They demanded a long and careful looking which left me feeling somehow rewarded and enriched.




I suppose that this quality of meditative looking is something that I seek in my own work and value in the viewer who takes the time to give more than a passing glance.
