LOCK - LOG - ROPE

By Michaela Hobbs

Another successful year has transpired at Ferini. We have showcased a diverse range of artwork, including solo and group shows, as well as themed shows. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who have. graced our venue with their presence. We are pleased to announce a comprehensive exhibition schedule for 2026. Notably, our annual pottery show, a highly anticipated event among our patrons, will be featured prominently in the upcoming magazine.

In my capacity as an artist advocate, I have dedicated a significant portion of my time to supporting artists in showcasing their work, whether locally at Ferini or on a broader scale. I provide guidance on framing and general presentation techniques. Consequently, I have decided to take the plunge and exhibit my own work.

In preparation for the New Year Exhibition, I am excited to present three pieces of artwork that I initially created over two decades ago. Last year, I transformed them into cards, which have garnered considerable popularity among our customers.

While they have been featured in our previous exhibitions, I believe it is an opportune moment to reintroduce them. Inspired by my frequent visits to Pakefield Beach, a cherished destination for me, I embarked on a solo journey there. I spent countless hours immersed in the surroundings, simply observing and appreciating the ambiance.

With meticulous attention to detail, I composed each shot, calibrated the camera settings, and finally pressed the shutter button. The exhilarating sensation of capturing a fleeting moment in time was unparalleled.

The resulting artwork, entitled ‘LOCK - LOG - ROPE,’ is an unconventional triptych. Although each image was captured at different times of the day, I believe they harmoniously compliment each other as a cohesive trio.
