“Afloat” Image. Ceres Gallery. New York. Solo Show
I am transitioning out of my present blog format for a very good reason: Showing the 100 collages in my current blog format is coming to a close. (We are on “Sixty-Eight”) To make the transition easier, (soon) , I am planning to blog about other art-related things interspersed with continuing to post the “Afloat” collages until I reach the 100. I will ease out of the front and center visual and few paragraphs of copy into something else.
I have a fear of boring my present followers. I am taking a risk. First, I have tried to keep my blog short. And primarily visual. People do not have time now to do anything but scan.
I am scheduled for another solo show in 2015. A solo show requires me to spend at least an entire year to bring it to its conclusion.
In addition to planning what I will do for the blog, I must first plan what I will do for the show.
And part of the blog material will come from experiences with my new studio and my old studio. Successes and challenges with technique and subject matter, (I’ll keep problems with people to a minimum), materials, time, commuting back and forth for supplies and to work.
I won’t show any finished work, I don’t think. Since the exhibition is for that. I will focus on experience and process. Even in my “Afloat” blog, where I showed finished pieces, I described process and sometimes I drifted into memories. This too will happen. I doubt it will be a “How to Put Together a Solo Show” type of thing. I’ll just see how it goes.
I am not ready to break away from these little collages yet, however.
Thank you, Ron!

Solo show!! Wow! That’s exciting.
Will never be bored with your blog. It’s not so much about the thing, but about sharing the thing. (Sorry “thing” is not very descriptive. It’s late, and I am not getting on with this rearranged WordPress. Grrr. )

Note: As it happened, (now September 4, 2016) Ceres Gallery agreed to let me postpone the show to April 2016. Still a hustle, but not quite as much.
