Countdown begins ... Today

It's officially one week from today that Boundary|Time|Surface opens at the Art Gallery of St. Albert! Not quite sure how the time flew by so fast (well, actually yes, I am - in the studio!) - but regardless - I find there's always a sense of time speeding up just before a show.

And it's been busy on a number of fronts: the not-glamourous jobs an artist does to make the stuff all happen the way it should for an exhibition.

Case in point (sorry of the awful sort-of pun):

Packing. Ah yes, making work is one thing - packing it is another entirely! Fortunately, I didn't have to build crates for the work this time, as we can transport it ourselves - but the work still needs protection. And list -making becomes part of this process too, of course. Making sure that all the bits and bobs of hardware and tools and just-in-case things are sorted and packed and there when we need them for install.

And then there's the transport part of it too:

Spent a couple of hours playing 'car tetris' with the bins and boxes and other stuff ... and in a little while, we'll be getting this all unloaded and dropped off at the Gallery.

HOLY MOLY. Here we go!
