I just finished hanging Marlys Dietricks new show at the fl!ght gallery a couple of minutes ago, and in true emvergeoning style, I thought it might be good to write a short response to a show in my own space.  (please excuse unnecessary or lacking punctuation) .

First I’ll start by saying that I’m extremely nervous, not for marlys but for myself.  This show is downright amazing.   Her frames look extremely well crafted and the way the pieces are hung within the glass is exquisite.  She throws in a casual latin title intelligently made using the creatures origins.  A sheet to break it all down is available at the entrance to the gallery.  The creatures themselves come from very interesting origins, she told me that in her quest to finish this work she would throw out a piece the second it started looking like something in our recognizable realm.  I’m torn to several of the smaller drawings.  They look suspiciously like an amalgamation of a dream I wanted to have when I was 14.   I’m quite excited about this show.  I know Marlys hasnt shown her work in over 12 years.  It totally wants to blow you away.  The giant drawings elucidate the hours of work that must have gone into each one..  ok, thats all i have time for now, back to speaking online french. désolé d’entendre parler de vous et de votre jeu emvergeoning de boule sur des roues.
