Sometimes, it amazes me how easily connections are made.
Yesterday, in the gallery, a guy asked if he could take a photo of the text of a particular work (as photography was not allowed of actual work) I said ‘Yes’.. and there followed an exchange that would not normally take place.
He was an artist from Brazil (which I would not have found out if I’d refused his request) he loved this work and it inspired what he was aiming to achieve. He showed me Instagram pictures of his work and as the internet connection was slow, I followed him so I could look properly later. He followed me and we viewed each others artwork and commented.
Two strangers, continents apart, but shared interests.
