The best laid schemes of Mice and Men
oft go awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!
—Robert Burns

I decided to go with the less Scottish version of this verse. Trying to decipher “gang aft agley” (which is shown here as “oft go awry“) into something coherent this early in the morning just seemed cruel. But the verse is here to remind us that plans often change desspite our best efforts and intentions.
We had originally planned the show, Toward Possibility, at the Kada Gallery in Erie, Pennsylvania for October 23 but found that there was a very big event at a local museum that would be in direct conflict. So, at almost the last minute, we switched it to the 16th. Unfortunately, over the weekend we discovered there were other unforseen conflicts that made the doing the show at that date very difficult.
So, we put our heads together and have settled on a final show date for the Kada show: November 6. It’s also a Saturday opening starting at 7 PM.
For me, it’s not a problem to switch the show date to a later date. It gives me extra time to fine tune the details of the work and possibly have new pieces that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. The earlier date had me hustling around to meet the deadline. On the other hand, I feel this is a really strong group of work and would like to have it in front of people as soon as possible. But the extra time is good and I feel very comfortable with date of November 6.
So, if you have any plans for seeing this show, make a note of the date change.
