Art fairs
I am showing this weekend at the Walnut creek arts and craft fair. I have gotten some really good feedback on a few pieces. There are several pieces that get people to stop and take notice. Avila Movement, Fallen Soldiers and Afternoon Walk. I think that people react to then for different reasons.

Fathers holding it down
There was an opening of amazing art Oakland artist. She does traditional African sculpture and mixed media that she interprets into a modern context. The beautiful part was that she was running late, and her husband (an established artist himself) tried to hold it down – while watching the grandchild.
I was about to leave and he was outside with the baby. He was hoping that his wife was starting to talk about her art work. Even though he literally had his hands full, he was trying to make sure that the team was doing right and coming up. Lovely…

On The Photo Essay
I’ve been pushing myself for a while about how to show my photographic work. There really is an entire process of getting ready for exhibitions, which is different than taking and looking at pictures.
My work is evolving around the photo essay. These essays are a collection of several photos that tell a story. Traditionally, these essays have been seen in magazines like Life. I have displayed some of the photos, each framed separately and then hung next to each other. They are part of a singular story. It seems that people don’t get it. My new approach is to frame them together. My hope is that this is a way for people to get it.
It turns out that this approach also generates a lot of issues around the size of the prints, uniformity of the sizes, the size of the frame and a whole bunch of other questions that I still need to answer. If people react positively to the process, then I’ll see how I can refine it to make it better.
My first examples of this will be displayed at the Nomad Cafe show.
