Continuing the Gallery with a Steep Cut in Income
I started the new year with a steep cut in my living income. The question is how to continue working on the gallery without spending as much money as I have in the past. As I pass the artwork in the Corridor Lobby I see quite a lot of work to do without even having to frame the picture.
Just after breakfast today, I cleaned up the identity tags. there were some from last exhibit and some had not been installed yet. That done I changed the position of two exhibits that had been not properly placed.
I have received a few beautiful tapestries that I want to hang up. But they are still in storage. I also have two frames that are not finished. I have been waiting until my budget permits. Also, I have been working on inventory with an app I found called ArtMoi.com. One of my drawings would fit nicely into one of the frames. So I will work on that today.
How to continue working on the Gallery
The living income cost encourages me to look for ways to reduce the upkeep on the gallery. In the past I have been working with full frames. This means they have a glass, a matte board frame and an archival quality backing. If I take the bull by the horns I can get away without the glass and the backing. So I will just attach the print to the matte board and put the two into the frame. I will use the prints that I develop myself. Yes that means that they are vulnerable to damage. But at this point if this happens than it is the most cost efficient to just print out another copy of the work and start again.
What kind of medium I will use:
The question of the vulnerability of the works does not encourage me to use original drawings. The printed medium is the best because it is the one that can be most easily replaced. However my drawings, naturally intrigue me. I have a desire to display them. I will frame one for this week and see how it will do.
