The answer is: well, it depended... and then it changed from time to time, but, frankly, it was a privilege and a pleasure to be involved with Cecily and Nancy in the creation of the Into Bhutan exhibit yesterday! I am looking forward to the opening tonight!
The exhibit is in the Cultural Center library - quite wonderfully converted to an art gallery for the next two weeks!
Chumpay on the ladder hanging line for all of the pictures! When you see the final exhibit you can understand that Chumpay and George hung every single line that holds up every single picture! And it was HOT up there, the outside temperature was about 100 and with the lights shining on them.... What kind and wonderful men they are to do this task with kindness, dehydration, and no complaint!
George very very close to the lights! You might think this photo is blurry because of the tremor I have or because George got too dehydrated and is falling off the ladder, but I want to point out that his feet are really well in focus.
And *that*, my friends, is why I will never be a professional photographer...well, among other things, like this nurse gig I have going on..and no artistic talent and stuff like that. Nice ankles, George!
Assignments were given and included special newly learned 'skills'. Here Nancy has been assigned the task of 'thinking'assisted by Cecily and George (aka Rocky's therapist) and Chumpay. Yes, ''thinking' was an actual assigment, usually carried out by Cecily or Nancy - and they did a wonderful job of thinking through the creation of the exhibit.
Yeppers....back up the ladder for Chumpay!
Celia saves the day! Nancy and Celia hanging the last large picture. There was a moment of consternation when we realized that everyone who knew how to hang the large pictures had left. Fortunately, Celia returned and all was well! That was one of Celia's new skills.
And she was happy to help! And really happy to get the last picture hung!
Almost finished...Nancy started creating the space that will provide welcome to all of the visitors at the door of the library.
It was an amazing gift to be allowed to participate in the creation of this space! Thank you to Cecily and Nancy and Steve and everyone who participated. It was good to work with dear friends and make new acquaintances!
The opening is tonight from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and all are invited. I am sure there will be more pictures posted here as the days of the exhibit continue.
