First Friday Gallery Talk

I really enjoyed giving a gallery talk at the Contemporary Art Center on Friday. I gave a brief history of my art making and showed a work in progress. It's always a good exercise to evaluate what it is you do and how to convey the thought process as well as the physical process. I shared some of the details of my work... like writing the word JOY! on every panel before I start the art... showed embedded stamps and ledger paper in the pieces in the show... told the fun story about being handed 3 bags of shredded money by a gentleman staffing the Chicago Federal Reserve booth at a bank conference...lots of good questions and comments.
