Today is Tuesday May 20th. The show opens tonight at 7 pm. I looked through the gallery window yesterday when I got into Saskatoon and thing looked pretty good.
So far no press. No publicity. I am really curious to see A) how many people show up tonight that I don't know...and I only know about 14 people here, and B) if anything will actually sell.
Let me qualify the last statement. Should I be worried about creating work that I think will sell. No. Do I create work that I think will sell? No. Do I have to worry about work selling? Yes.
Yes. Absolutely. Yes. It is how I can keep on doing what I do. So hopefully people will be supportive and like the work enough to buy a few things. It is that type of success that will land me another show at this particular gallery. And it is all of the commercial gallery success that allows me to experiment with other forms of art - one of which I have just submitted a grant proposal for.
That one is also about religious and spiritual works of art. In this case, building confessional devices. Which is a good time for me to end this blog and confess that I am very nervous for tonight.
I will try and find a way to post some photos tomorrow. Wish me luck!
