Like yesterday, I gotta run, so I’ll keep this short. I stopped by the gallery last night to take a peek at the progress. Things are really coming together, finishing up. The checkmarks on Edith’s list way outnumber the blank boxes. Everything should be finished tonight, and the show will get lit and labeled tomorrow. That’s good, because the show opens to the public on Monday, with an artist talk in the gallery on Tuesday, the 20th, between Edith and myself at 1 PM, followed by the opening reception at 7PM. More photos, including a ton of images of Cry Me A River in progress are in the Flickr set.
Above – Cry Me A River, Almost Done – That’s the tireless Pirkko DeBarr on that ladder, soldiering away, hanging a river of multicoloured vintage handkerchiefs.

Above – Marie Antoinette’s Bed from 280 – Complete and ready for prison comfort!
Above – Bird Name Flags for Heart Follows Bird – ready for hanging, like used car lot flags.
Above – The Salty: Three Tales of Sorrow Merchandising Shelf – Exactly what it sounds like, people are already trying to raid it.
Above – Cast Ceramic Bones from the Merchandising Shelf – Sometimes I think that these are my favourite elements in the installation, and they look beautiful in that little satin lined basket.

The basket is perfect for the bones, a sort of death-tote.
Death-Tote – I love it!
