Press!

I received my first piece of press in my life, I think. On November 12th the New Britain City Journal published a nice little article on my upcoming show at the downtown gallery in New Britain. Unfortunately they do not as of yet have any online content so I can't give you a link to the article. I think I'm going to try to find a way to scan the article and put it on the blog somehow.

It quotes my artist statement from my submission of work about a year and half ago. Now I'm using the statement on my page. It's not as dramatic, shall we say, as the one in the paper. Nevertheless, I'm pretty psyched!

Update:

Today (Nov. 15) I discovered that the press release found in the New Britain City Journal also appeared in the New Britain Herald. This time I was smart enough to go to the New Britain Arts Alliance website to find the article. Again, I felt my quotes were a little dramatic. I have since revamped the artist statement from where those were culled. So now it's a little more subdued. It was a nice press release nevertheless.

Also, I went down to the gallery today to install my art. Since the pieces are quite small, I did it in one improvised flourish, collage style. Not bad for doing it on my lunch break from work. Photos will follow the opening on Friday.
