The Wounded General, a small gallery and studio in Inverness Park, will close this weekend after opening just over two years ago, owner Heather Pratt announced this week. The combination of a new job in the East Bay, where she moved just a few weeks ago, and the difficulties of sustaining a tiny gallery in West Marin led her to shutter the space. Ms. Pratt, who worked at a number of local shops during her seven-year tenure on Marin’s coast, opened the studio in the spring of 2013, as an outgrowth of her studio space.  “I wanted to show things that I had a personal connection with and things that I felt were interesting and expressive of what the artist was trying to say… I wanted to show personal work, work that the artist was passionate about,” she said. Around the gallery’s two-year anniversary, Ms. Pratt recalled, she displayed one of her favorite works, an installation by a friend from Seattle: 3,800 lead fishing weights suspended from the ceiling with string. “He was pixellating the space. Essentially there was a new plane describing the ceiling plane, but lower, and you could interact with it. It was sound and motion sensitive. It was really cool.” She also tried to feature printmakers, who practice a style of art not well understood in the digital age, she said. But despite her love of the little gallery, life pulled her in a different direction. Over a year ago, Ms. Pratt nabbed a job in Oakland at Magnolia Editions, a fine art printmaking studio, where she heads up the papermaking division. The recent move to be closer to work has turned West Marin into a commute, which is particularly hard to justify when the gallery’s income and tourist traffic can come up short in the winter. “January is very quiet,” she said. “And sadly, people don’t buy much art these days.” She’s saying farewell to friends over the weekend, when she will be open from noon to 6 p.m. She’ll still be around, however; she has a show coming up at the Dance Palace Community Center in March, and she hopes to teach some printmaking classes soon at Ink Paper Plate, a new printmaking studio in Point Reyes Station.
