I deliver the my framed work to the Haen Gallery on Tuesday the 22nd. I'm anxious and cautious as to the reception. Of course, I hope Chris and Carol, the gallery owner and his associate, will love them and be excited about giving their clients a new art venue (and purchase opportunity.) I'm pleased with the work in "Pillars and Pedestals, 2008", some more than others, but all represent my perspective on the subject and use of media. I definitely feel they are less illustrative and more abstract which is a move in a slightly different yet parallel direction. Does that make sense? No, but who said I had to?
The work with the mural grant is still in progress. The third through fifth graders have finished the painting, printing and sewing on the panels. Now I take over and sew the edges and straighten out any flaws. Hopefully the book pages will be ready by the end of this next week and we can dedicate it the 1st of May. Cross fingers.
Now I can breathe a sigh of relief. The work is framed and hung and ready for viewing. The show will be up at the Haen Gallery from April 24th through May 22nd.
My work is located on the left side of the gallery and is well placed and lit. Chris and Carol, the gallery owner and his associate, have been wonderful to work with - getting this all organized and advertised.
Thursday night, during the opening reception there was a huge crowd of patrons and well wishers. I recieved lots of positive comments and interest. I hope to see it pan out for both the gallery and myself.
