We hung the show in Warrington today - that would be Artists' Proof, the joint exhibition being put on by the Regional Print Centre Wrexham and second year Complete Printmakers from Hot Bed Press. It was a little uncomfortable while everyone's numbers of pics were trimmed back to fit - what? not that one? not this one? - but once we were past that point it was all about unwrapping, arranging, rearranging, attaching to hooks, a hundred tiny jigs to get the prints hanging straight and looking good next to their neighbours, then standing back and admiring our part in the operation. Curator Emma Kelly saved us from having to cull our own work and did the deciding of what looked good where - we were her willing assistants. Tomorrow's the opening - meanwhile, here are some snaps from before:
and here's a sneak preview of after:
and because it seemed an awful shame to let all those other framed works go to waste, we've put up an impromptu show at Hot Bed Press - the spare exhibition, as it were. Just a couple of photos here - too much reflection on the other prints:
