Memoirs of the Bright Side of the Moon

Ginger Gilmour is an artist and sculptor who trained with Cecil Collins and is totally devoted to the quest for and expression of beauty and love, as the odyssey of her life shows. Her journey takes a sudden turning with the advent of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour in her life and she sets off for England from Michigan to forge a new life. Much time is spent on the road in different parts of the world and in raising a family, but David eventually leaves and she is left to plough her own furrow while developing as an artist and mystic. The Sufi mystic Irina Tweedie becomes an important influence in her life as does Jungian Dr Gerhard Adler. The book is illustrated with photos of her exquisite sculptures that are a tribute to the sense of beauty that inspires her – and not in terms of outer appearance but rather from inward significance as an expression of her spiritual journey. Her studio becomes a sanctuary where she creates and reflects the beauty of life as the title suggests – on the bright side of the moon. It is an inspiring tale of courage and artistic integrity.
