It was very helpful and grounding not to mention so much fun, I love making miniatures. And it came at a perfect time for “Realms of Wonder” solo exhibit, April 2013. I did a blog post about it 2 weeks before: http://obrienstudio.blogspot.com/2013/03/dollies-get-sneak-peak-of-realms-of.html. Thank you so much for your great ideas…Kathleen

This weekend I will be creating the model for my upcoming show in Philadelphia.

I can load up digital images of my work very quickly and not only move them around, but change the scale or color easily. This helps me when I am deciding how many pieces to include and what size/shape/color I should be making the rest of the work. As a bonus, gallery managers have been very excited when I show them fly-throughs of how the exhibition will look. I just recently posted a fly-through on my blog http://helenreynolds-imageaday.blogspot.com/2011/03/salt-water-video.html for an example of how this looks.

Or maybe I’m an exhibition geek. 😉 I actually just do a square drawing of walls or spaces on paper, without the 3D aspect, and then play around with scale versions of the paintings. Even that helps.

Thank you for this post! I’ve just been approached by a gallery and they want to do a solo exhibition and immediately thought of you saying that you cannot start too soon…so I’ve been thinking about space, where and how the work would be displayed, space considerations, etc. This is very useful, practical info and definitely gets the wheels turning. I have not completely been through the link that was posted so may have more questions. Thanks again.
Donna
