I look tired: it was near the end of a long night, after waiting a long time for people to clear out of the gallery a little so I could take this photo. The opening was packed. If I wasn't so familiar with all of the work in the show it would have been frustrating trying to engage with any of it in such a crazy big crowd, but I think a lot of people are there for the schmoozing anyway, and many told me they had already been in earlier in the week to view the work.

Below are some images of people interacting with my piece; I swear it wasn't only women interested in my work, it just happened that I only managed to photograph women. It was difficult to get any decent pictures at all, there were so many people.

getting ready

This week I've been working on my outfit for tonight's opening: a new dress, sort of the evening gown version at the end of the runway show, and a wrap knitted from spun prints. All week I've been cutting, spinning, knitting, and now the wrap is blocking on the carpet.

Photos of the finished dress and wrap later. For those within driving distance of Athens GA, the opening reception is tonight at seven p.m. at the Georgia Museum of Art. And check out my graduating class: ugamfa.com.
