"Sailing Through the Market" show opens Sept 4

Yikes! One minute I'm resting on my tattered laurels, congratulating myself for having pulled together another exhibition. And then, before I get any serious loafing done, I'm running around again, choosing images, getting enlargements made, hauling them to the framer, laying out the show, making inventory sheets and labels, posting images to picasa web albums, preparing an email annoucement, writing this blog post, delivering the work to the gallery, etc etc.

So...the opening is Friday night, September 4th, from 5-8 pm, at Generator Gallery in Fabrica Aurora, the same night as the monthly ArtWalk. I'm so happy to be showing this work (images posted here). I've been obsessed with photographing these market tarpaulins since my first visit to San Miguel in 2003. For this show, I made a 5-minute video of these same images rippling in the wind, like sails, called "Veleando por el Mercado" (Sailing Through the Market"). The story of making this video, novice that I am, is another saga. Thank heaven for patient and helpful pals. Yikes!
