Ahhh… it was a blur of glitter, candy sprinkles, painting, assembling, matting, and a whole lot o’ coffee. Yep the opening of, TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS AS PAINFUL AS IT SEEMS, New Work by Ben Skinner, was everything I’d hoped it would be. I had planned to write this post last week, but honestly I needed a bit of time to come down from the thrill of seeing this show actually come together. Aaaand exhale. Ok, I’m ready. From the 65′ text mural, to the 20′ foam board scaffolding, everything came together perfectly. All of Ben’s work looked amazing, the opening was filled with wonderful/excited people, and I still can’t believe I got to curate my first show with such an incredible artist at a gallery staffed by really, really, really nice people. Thank you Ben, and the Honfleur Gallery. It was an amazing journey. What now? Well, on to the next proposal I guess!

I’m jealous of everyone that got to be there! xoxo!
I wish I could have seen it in person. Congratulations, it looks like it was an amazing exhibit! That’s really foam core scaffolding? Crazy!
thanks ladies! yep, it really was amazing… and yes, that’s 20′ of foam core. two stories high and only about 10lbs. idea behind it being that rebuidling (especially in the case of a community in the middle of some major gentrification) can be a delicate matter, and if you’re not careful, everything could come crashing down. brilliant.
Incredible! Huge congratulations!! xo
thank you! xoxo
