Corporate Pillars Day 105

I just finished a very busy and exciting weekend.  I was asked to show "Corporate Pillars", even though incomplete, at the Ravenswood Art Walk in Chicago this past weekend.  The first public showing.  Needless to say I was excited about the opportunity.  I am very grateful to Moss Design who extended the invitation and opened their space to me.  I also exhibited 5 other of my larger pieces.

Because of the size of the sculpture and the paintings I was exhibiting, I rented a cargo van to transport the work.  I felt this was a better idea than trying to stuff things in my car in multiple trips.  This was the first time I rented a van for my art work.  It was a mini adventure.  It also gave my work some importance.  It warranted special transport.  I really like the idea that my art and my opinion of my art has evolved to the point of treating it with reverence.  All went well.

The art walk was very successful.  I met many people and I still enjoy others admiring my work.  I like talking about my work as well and I have more than enough willing listeners. 

Next to the sculpture, I place a box to collect additional business cards for the project.  I received a bumper crop of 102 business cards.  That is a new event record.  I am very pleased with the results.  Now I have to shift gears and get ready for the Pilsen Open Studios on Oct 16-17 that I am participating in.  I am curious how far I can push the sculpture in the next two weeks.
