the closing

these closing pictures were taken in summer 2006 while i was at umma, and as we were doing inventory in collections, packing up, and transporting the art. everything had to leave the building.

maxwell edison. my partner on team painting pallet.

painting storage screens in collections. many paintings to go.

i basically re-constructed the backings of paintings and frames for secure transport, storage, and future exhibitions. this one, like most, needed a lot of help.

work spot and tools

the bandsaw in the shop. my fave.

before: this is after the museum had closed to the public, and the art was being transported daily. these crates were custom made for specific pieces in the collection.

the re-opening

after

the outside of the building looks kinda like an old building with a weird new section attached, but on the inside the flow is rather seamless and lovely.
