Photos from “Second Hand Made” opening
This past weekend was the opening reception for my show “Second Hand Made” at the Lois Lambert / Gallery of Functional Art in Santa Monica CA. I was very pleased with how the show came together. It is always nice to get a chance to see a large selection of work in the same place at the same time. All too often artists find their work trickling away without the opportunity to see it as a whole. Of course the prerequisite for this experience was getting all the work safely there!

I had to rent a 14’ Uhaul truck to transport all the work. I was very fortunate to have my Father along for the trip. He was extremely helpful in getting all the pieces painstakingly loaded for the 6-7 hour drive down. And even more valuable in unpacking and installing the show (you can see him making it all look easy below).
Despite all of my anxiety, the installation was actually quite smooth and I found myself at ease and prepared for opening night. I would like to thank CTP for his concept and design that led to all the little start button boxes that you see on some of the pedestals and walls. This meant no unnecessary handling of the art by viewers, and a much easier orientation for the gallery staff.
