Three artworks from my “Troubled Waters” series
were chosen for the GYRE International Exhibition at the Anchorage Museum in
Alaska. Since these works are large, delicate pastels, they presented a
challenge. On the advice of the Albright Knox Art Gallery, I contacted Dennis
Wisniewski and his crew at Avenue Art & Frame to handle the special framing
it required. Then Dennis introduced me to Robert Scalise of the UB Anderson
Gallery who built the crate to send everything up in perfect shape. So glad
that Robert had time for this freelance project! The Anchorage Museum used
FedEx as their carrier. I’m
including all these details for artist friends who might be in a similar
situation.
The GYRE show will be on view until September 6, 2014. Then it will become a Smithsonian traveling exhibition. I hope many people will see GYRE in one place or another. It aims to show how the throwaway products of our consumption are affecting oceans and connecting us globally through our trash. Hopefully scientists and artists can help raise awareness of this enormous environmental problem.
