a little gathering...

i was talking with one of my friends the other day about the importance of curation, that it is an art unto itself... and one that is so much harder than you'd think. it took me a solid 8 hours to hang a show once. no kidding. finding the right pieces, the right arrangement... it takes a lot of work and a ton of sensitivity. each piece in a show has a conversation with the other work. especially the piece it is hanging right next to. and so the premise of the show, the statement, whatever it is you want the show to DO or communicate, weighs in heavily on how the work is hung. i'm a bit rusty at it, for sure. so this is just a little attempt to start thinking along those lines again- a little gathering of pieces from the last 3 years, all of which are still in my possession, all of whom i love. pretend it's a real exhibition and let me know what you think.



don't you ever tell...
