| Cornerstone Coffee House |
Last November I had a mask show at the
Cornerstone Coffee House in McMinnville. A long brick wall with my faces. Selecting pieces to show were folks sip coffee and work away on their laptops is like deciding what to wear to a party where you do not know anyone. You are sure to be judged by the few who my look, but it is not worth fussing over it.

I like having shows in public places like coffee houses. It is where people spend time. They are community living rooms and what better place to have your work than where folks live.

I sat in Cornerstone and watched a college student look up from her sleek laptop. She looked at Re Garlini for maybe a minute. Just gazed. Maybe she was day dreaming, or composing a reply to an email from her friend who needed advice about what to eat for lunch. She got up slowly walked over to Re and touched him on the nose. She returned to her table, sipped her coffee and hunched over her computer. Her fingers skipping lightly over the keyboard.
I like to think that she was telling her friend about the encounter she just had. There was something about Re Garlini which resonated. She did get up and touched his nose. What did he say to her?
