The making of Canis Familiaris

With the help of friends and family we installed our exhibit in the late hours of 7 days. Big THANK YOU to all that came to help us: Ricardo, Joe, Chad, Natalia, Audrya, Taj, and to our families who allowed us to borrow the certain home adornments to complete the interior.

Our first gallery show consisted of almost 4 times more space than we had to work with before.

In between our work schedules, our homes, our families, and the time we needed to work on our individual pieces, we constructed an instillation that makes me proud. There's something that happens when I come together with these ladies, a dynamic thats difficult to put into works. A lot of hard work went into making our first gallery show a success, we new we had to. A few times along the way I was pessimistic, and now, I realize that I had no reason to be.
