Sunday Reflection: At the gallery
Last night, I was in Detroit for the opening of my dad's show at a gallery here, Collected Detroit. (I took the photo above before the crowds arrived).
It is always wonderful to see other people see what those you love create-- an experience I have had a few dozen times in different ways. Beyond the "I know him!" aspect of it, there is something deeper-- fresh eyes make me look and see and hear things I didn't before.
Probably not every kid grew up with nudes in the kids' bathroom, but I did. I'm not sure what effect that had on me, but it probably was good. As I have written here before, I love the way my parents see beauty wherever they go. They are right. I was taught two things by that: to look and see, and to celebrate the good.
If you want to see more of my dad's work, you can check it out here, and his jazz blog is here.
