No Review

I'm a bit sad that there was totally no press about the show at 1708 "Rain or Shine." The opening was amazing, with over 2,000 people there. Part of me wonders if I was supposed to be the one to actively be hunting down for someone to write about the show. Honestly the two reasons I wanted to do the show was for press, I need press and so do two of the other artists in the show. Kate seems to be doing fine, but she could always use more. The other reason was I wanted to see all the work I made this year up, and hanging. The second part of my wishliss made me happy. I haven't heard from any of my former teachers about what they thought of the show. That scares me a bit.

I have been back in the studio prepping work for my next two shows, one at Herron College and one at the Weston Art Gallery here in Cincinnati. It is hard being in an empty studio again, trying to make sense of what happened at the last show, what was working and what wasn't working. Part of me doesn't want to admit that I am really conflicted about what work I need to be working on; were the drawings stronger, or the painted objects? Do I still need to show so much work to make it relate to each other? Is any piece strong enough to live on it's own? This is where I am at now, and think I am going to be dealing with this issue for a while.
