Its All in the Details.

I keep working on the panels for the double show with Lois Wirth and her amazing watercolors. I only have 8 pieces left to make and still on perfect time as my own imposed deadline for it is the end of April. The show will be in June, but I want to have that period of detachment from it, so a good month will do.

Meanwhile, I built a scale model of the gallery ( 1inch= 2.5 feet) in order for me and Lois to be able to visualize the order of the pieces and the space. It is a good way to be able to save time on placing on the spot, something that based on experience it can turn a simple 2 hour job into a day nightmare in some cases. This way, except for minor changes during the hanging day, we should have already a pretty clear idea where everything should go. I have to say that it did help me a lot as originally I have around 5-6 more pieces in mind than what I ended up with that I discarded once I got the model made. Also, I been playing with the positioning of them for a while and Dawn as always as my best and directly honest critic has helped me to see things I missed.

I am taking really seriously this show, among many reasons is the fact that I have not done a show like this on quite a while (50 pieces on the Latino Arts back on 2005- CLICK HERE TO SEE IT) so I am trying to have everything the way it should be. I hope I do.

Stay tuned.
