I imagine that in advance of the holidays everyone’s schedules have become a tangled mass of “holiday cheer” and “OMFG I just have to finish this”. Or at least that is where I am at. We aren’t particularly great at holiday things. I always want to be but somehow it escapes me….due usually to the above feelings of “cheer pressure” and deadlines. I had the thought last week that maybe I just wouldn’t do shows between October and December in the future, so I am not fighting deadlines while trying to enjoy my family and life in general. I will still make work, just not on a panicked “get ‘er done” type of schedule…We’ll see. I realize that I sound grumpy about it all. I think I’m just overwhelmed. Such is life!
In other news, Paul and I went to Procession Gallery yesterday, which was started by one of my former PAFA students. We bought 2 pieces are are very excited about them:
A piece by Brooke McVeigh.
New! (Yet to be hung) Top piece by Henry Murphy. Middle piece by Mark Manning. Bottom piece by Aubrie Costello. Bottom left by Josh Yelle. Bottom right by Nathan Reidt. Top left by Ray Abary. Top right by Chris Mrozik. Middle left cross stitch done of a photo of my work by Shana Mccarron. Middle right by Heather Gabel.
All the other things are mostly the same for now.
