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!
