Although all the books and the room divider screens are now completed, I haven't had professional photos taken of the fourth book and the screens so there have been no updates here recently. Although I should mention that the exhibit (at two locations) are going well.
At the John Wilson Special Collections, the exhibit is scheduled to come down on December 31, 2008. The artist talk went very well. We filled up the room...although admittedly, it's a small room!
At Rose Schnitzer Manor, the exhibit there was extended and will also end on December 31, 2008. Some of the seniors who participated in the project have been heard to be bragging about their artwork represented in the books and room divider screens! That's sweet news to my ears—that they're proud of their work.
The project has received quite a bit of attention from the local press too. The Asian Reporter ran an article on December 9, and the Portland Open Studios Blog ran a story on December 27. Also, RACC, the organization that gave me the grant to work on this project, ran an Artist Spotlight on me and my project for November - December.
And more good news—the four books from Relay Replay Press (along with some of my own work) have been accepted by Vamp and Tramp Booksellers, dealers in contemporary fine press & artists' books, to represent. I just got the news this morning and am very excited.
