Yesterday I gave the background stories to the four pieces on the top row of my main display wall. Today it is the turn of the next row down – 7 mounted pieces. The two prints on their own will be dealt with later since being moved on Friday March 16th. Display and presentation of …
So, my art now has a space to be exhibited all the time. As I said in my previous post I moved items in on Monday March 5th. I bought a table, was given some chairs and added an easel of my own. Since then I have added my family coffee table from my parents’ …
