Wrapped up one show, and another two hit
Cool news, I had my first solo gallery opening! Less cool news, nothing sold. I had to take down my show in a hurry last Sunday, due to a typo that told me the wrong date for its closing.
I just got an invite for one back in Ohio, a gallery I worked with before. This morning, I got a call from a gallery that works specifically with people who are _____ impaired. They saw my blurb in the back of the program for my last show (It was in a theater) and want me to come show work, because I described myself as visually impaired.
So I'm having one of those " But am I really vision impaired enough?" Moments. "Because It's not like I'm blind, I just can't be exposed to bright light without severe pain, my eyes don't track movement, my eyes can't see details at any more than four feet away, my eyes can't follow a track at all, my eyes wiggle on their own when I'm tired, I lose color perception when I'm tired, I have a high chance of going blind...and... oh, huh, that does sound kind of visually impaired" kind of moments. I'm just used to dealing with my squirrely eyes.
I will totally go through with it, it's a great opportunity, but I can never help but feel like I'm "cheating".
