soon…
my exhibit opens on saturday. oh goodness gracious I am just a big puddle of nerves right now. it is currently after one in the morning on wednesday. I have not slept since I woke up at noon on monday. and I didn’t sleep last saturday night either. frankly, at this rate, I’ll be surprised if I’m alive come saturday.
it’s not even like I’ve been pulling all nighters, trying to get ridiculous amounts of work done. I am feeling really good about where my work is right now. I think it is more the other stuff, the logistical stuff. like writing my artist statement. framing everything (I don’t want to take the protective plastic off of the plexi too soon! when is the right time?). that other hand-out I have to get ready for the gallery. the installation. will group 1 be able to get their stuff cleared in time for us to have a reasonable amount of installation time? will I be able to fit my rocking chair in my car with that table in there? will the small gallery look empty with just my stuff in there? will the freaking books get here in time?! the books that I shelled out the big bucks for next day shipping, after taking 3 to 5 days for production. if production takes only 3 days (wednesday, thursday, friday), if I’m lucky they will get here possibly HOURS before the opening. and then I can see if people actually want to buy them.
My friend gave me a barf/breathing bag today that I might have to use in a minute.
