You'd have to look very carefully to see anything intimate at this exhibit, Derby. Actually, I count about 10 items smaller than mine, with the smallest being 10x10 inches.
Dimensional-peeping aside, the show as a whole looks good, with larger pieces given more breathing space and smaller pieces grouped nicely together. I have to give the jury and curator credit for creating a coherent exhibit from disparate material. I hope to attend the jurors walkthrough this Saturday to hear their thoughts directly. Thanks!
