Denver Modernism Show
Structures #60 ©2006 33"x89"
Honorable Mention
Last thursday or friday I intended to write a blog post about the Denver Modernism Show. A few years back one of my readers recommended that I enter my work into the juried portion of this show. This year I finally took their advice and did so.
I had a textile painting accepted, Structures #60, and in fact won honorable mention in the show. They accepted 45 out of 135 pieces submitted to jury. I believe my piece was the only fiber piece in the show but I’m not certain.
It’s a short weekend event that came and went this past weekend (blogging after the fact is maybe not my best marketing effort). I didn’t manage to find time to attend as I was busy being interviewed by Spike for her upcoming new book, celebrating my son’s 16th birthday, and getting kids ready for school, which started today.
Next year I plan to enter, to win best of show, and go see the show. And, of course, sell the work I have in the show. Best to go for the gold.
As I don’t have a TV I can’t watch the olympics, fortunately a friend dvr’d some womens’ gymnastics and I was able to watch it this weekend. It’s amazing what those girls can do. When I was in high school my junior varsity gymnastics skills weren’t quite the same thing.
