Solo Show at Stonehenge Studios in Portland
Friday, December 9th, 2011
Yesterday the first solo show I have had in a decade was hung. Tomorrow night is the opening. I am in that “what if nobody comes” phase which will heighten progressively throughout the day until 5:30 comes and I’m talking to visitors and old friends who show up. Then for the next few days I […]
