Additional measures include:

Clinic and equipment sanitization before and after each client visit

Hand sanitization, as well as a glove and mask station at the entry.

One client in the clinic at a time

Emphasis on physical distancing

Contactless payment

I have another workshop coming up at 4 Corners Community Collective Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Bill

Was visited recently by a long time client who works in the kitchen of a busy restaurant here in Victoria. On the left are the orthotics I made for them 20 years ago. On the right the fresh custom set they walked away with. Happy feet I am sure. Got me to thinking about how many orthotics I have made over the past 27 years. I have no idea!

"Shen & Xin" Seven works by Bill Goers are featured in this short film produced by Andrew Naysmith.

Much thanks to Graham McDonald.

The materials are: cedar, cotton or h**p string, mulberry (rice) paper, and rice glue.

The sizes:

One piece is 32”x32”x48” and weighs 2lb.

Two pieces are 22”x22”x36” each weighs 1 lb.

Four pieces are 16”x16”x18” each weighs 8oz.

They can be hung in either of two ways: either directly hung off of the ceiling, or suspended off of a bracket attached to the wall. Smaller pieces work well suspended off the wall, but the ceiling hang allows the greatest flexibility in placement.

The works have appeared in several galleries, artist’s lofts, private homes, and public spaces.

The works are intended to kinetically interact with light and space. Small air currents generated by viewers, ambient air flow, and changes in pressure and room temperature all contribute to their rotational movement and sway.

この映像には７つの作品が含まれています。使われているメディア：シダー、たこ糸、麻紐、

和紙、のり。

サイズ：

１ピース作品（一体当たり)：81cm x 81cm x 122cm　454g

２ピース作品（一体当たり)：55cm x 55cm x 96cm　907g

４ピース作品（一体当たり)：41cm x 41cm x 46cm

吊るし方には二通りあります。天井から直接吊るす方法、または天井にとりつけたフックから

吊るす方法。小さな作品は直接天井から吊るすことに問題はありませんが、天井にフックを固

定する方法であれば高さの調節などが容易になります。

これらの作品は過去にアートギャラリーやアーティストのイベント、個人宅や公共の場で展示

されてきました。

この作品は光と空間と動的に関わりあうことを目的としています。観ている人が生み出す空気

の流れや空間に存在する微風、気圧や気温の微妙な変化に寄ってゆるやかに回転し光をとらえ

ながら変化します。
