![]() In 1993 I committed myself to mounting a show at the Krasl Art Center, the first time the paintings would need to be shipped. This was a big step for me and I was very nervous about it. Besides the normal framing which I would do myself (over twenty new paintings), I would need to build the crates for shipping the paintings. But then six weeks before the exhibition was to be shipped, I was called up for jury duty and left with no one to help me. |
