I have considered myself a person who prefers privacy over public exposure, but completing our gallery space is apparently calling those self-perceptions into question. It was an extraordinary two days of interacting with a diverse group of art tourists.

A peculiar aspect of disclosing the results of one\u2019s collage-making process is to gauge the response of someone not quite prepared for the experience.
