The Otherness Of Things

After a seven year hiatus I am having a solo art show. I've exhibited in a variety of group shows but haven't done a solo in a very long time. There are a variety of excuses I could spew but the reality is I am finally in a somewhat good and stable place, both mentally and physically (although the leaking chimney is giving me MINOR stress). My work is contemporary mixed media having majored in photography. I switched from a painting major after my professor said my paintings were "laughable", so now I do a little of both :)...and have managed a happy medium that seems to work for me. The wonderful ability to work in mixed mediums, which I do not protest to have mastered, is to create something harmonious out of such seemingly opposite elements.
