Hammer Install




I've been meaning to post pictures of the Hammer installation, but time has gotten the better of me. Between my efforts on the LACE Benefit Auction and shows coming up in March and April, I've been too swamped to blog. (Probably a good thing!)

Nearly 2,000 people saw my show in its first three weeks, but I wanted to post images from the install. Franky Kong, Nick Kramer and Tim Butler did an incredible job putting it all together. Since the wallpaper is comprised of nearly 100 tiles, getting them all into place without obvious seams is very difficult, but these guys were determined!This was taken in the museum's storage. This is the biggest piece I've ever made, and it's completely overshadowed by the Matisse.
