I arrived at The Arts Center in Orange, VA with a thorough plan about how I would hang my show. But, you know what they say about that sort of thing. It turns out that some of the measurements and the configuration were a little different than I had anticipated.
For instance, this was my plan for the left wall.
Then, I got there and discovered this in the middle of that wall.
I knew this purple cabinet would be in the space, but I thought I’d be able to reposition it. But no: it was bolted to the wall! Time to rethink. I ended up shifting the 3 pieces to the left corner and adjacent wall. I was really happy with the way the artwork played off the aqua color.
To the right of the cabinet I hung 6 of my little Notes for a Friend. That’s my mom helping me measure.
I had two more EXCELLENT helpers, my sister-in-law, Lisa, and a local fiber artist friend, Marty. It took us quite a while and there’s no way I could have done it without them.
This was my plan for the brick wall. It’s the main wall you see when entering the room.
I was able to hang it exactly as planned. I’ll show you better photos in the next post, but these will give you an idea.
We were all ready for the show to open! The opening reception was a blast and I’ll show you about that in my next post.
