September 18, 1993

There were several open slots available for the Vergette Gallery in Allyn, and Joel suggested I take one. What I decided to show was this Fourth of July series in progress. On 3 of the walls I had in a continuous eye-level line all the prints from July 4 through early September. The fourth wall was mostly boarded over windows (removable panels), not great hanging surfaces, so I built a simple frame structure out of wood that could hold all the blocks to date, and leaned it against this wall. The relatively uniform size of the blocks made it simple to build these columns, and the blocks were added by sliding them down from the open top.
