I often struggle with how to display my work as it isn't traditional 2d media. And although sculptural, it's not like a bronze or ceramic piece you can just plop on a pedestal and be done with.
At home in my studio, I simply lay pieces like treasures around the house. But when it comes time to put something in a gallery show, I have challenges.
Especially when I can't be there to help install. Which is exactly the case for the upcoming Millerton Fall for Art, October 24th, 5 to 8pm in Millerton, NY.
Thanks to a little woodshop instruction from my dad, and some hardware store detective work, I have finally made a perfect display stand for my small relic-like pieces. It's something I've been wanting to do for ages. And while I could have ordered these my work really requires wood vs. plastic display.
Scrap from my father's workshop, wooden dowls, a little wire and voila! I've got some fine tuning to do, but am on my way to a whole new way of displaying small works.
Of course, we found the key to the display case I originally intended to use but couldn't open, shortly after my display-making aha! moment. So now I've got options. I love options, don't you?
May your day be filled with the Magic Medicine of exploration and discovery.
