i am not very good with self-promotion. i have to credit rob jackson for encouraging me to enter this show in the first place... i refer to applying for exhibitions as "paying for the privilege of being declined". but i was very fortunate that the theme of the show matched up with my BFA exit work very nicely. i received a call from the show coordinator, David Gooding, that went something to this effect:
David: well, you'll be very pleased to know that yours is the featured work.
Me: really? um. wow. i didn't expect... wow.
he continued with relevant info and all i could do was say "um" and "wow" like a fool. i was in complete shock. i still am in shock, actually, because when i look at the names on the list, some of them are actually known to me and, yep, my work is on display next to theirs. i thought i was immune to hero worship, but i must admit to feeling a little bit star-struck and somewhat unworthy.
