Hanging 8x8 Prints at North Fourth Art Center

Ellie and I hung 88 prints at the North Fourth Art Center on October 23, 2023 for the "Deck the Walls" exhibition (openings on November 10 and December 1, 2023):

We used a laser level

to align the prints

Krrrl loaded up 13 small buckets of prints,

and two large buckets

to take to the gallery

13 small buckets of prints,

plus two large ones

We sorted all the prints on the tables first

We didn't hang all the framed pieces

A big THANKS to Ellie Weadock, for helping hang this infinite amount of prints!

OTHER POTATOES

Axle  Contemporary mobile art gallery in Santa Fe had a potato prints event called "POTATO."  Afterwards they cooked the potatoes and served potato soup:

Potato prints would probably make great simple patterns on t-shirts.  

For the Ambos Lados closing in the El Paso Museum of History, they made t-shirts with simple block prints, which I think turned out wonderful:
