Happy summer to you! With only a few more months until 122 Conversations opens in Duluth I wanted to thank some of the key people who have helped me along the way. The two women above, scroll-roller extraordinaire Jennifer Phelps and gorilla-whisperer Megan Johnston, have traveled this 6 year journey with me offering feedback, curatorial guidance, text editing and overall unwavering support. Prior to photographing each city’s scrolls, Phelps has been in the studio shaping the scope of the exhibition and literally rolling up the pieces and packing them into the suitcase with me. Heartfelt thank you to these two extraordinary women, both accomplished art professionals and wonderful friends whose assistance and camaraderie I cherish.
