Dearly Kept Show Opens April 23!

These are the crazy days prior to a show – exciting and sleepless.   I will be displaying 15 pieces to start with, and hopefully add more over the next couple months.  The pieces are hollow paper objects made in the form of cherished items of Liberty residents.   Each piece is accompanied by a corresponding audio recording made by the owner of the original object – accessible by calling 228-0301.   Best experienced when viewing the exhibit, IMHO.  

Here’s one location – Peavey’s Store -- soon to have a Dearly Kept display amidst the beef jerky and napkins. Can’t wait!

Oh yah – I’ll be having an opening at the Ivan O. Davis Library in downtown Liberty on Saturday, April 23, 5-7 pm.   A number of pieces will be on display there, and throughout town, until mid-June or so. 

Thank you thank you Liberty friends and neighbors.

I am humbled by your willingness to participate.  My intention with the DK is to honor and bring to light the hidden icons of our hearts.   From one community, my town.   

Here's a list of Liberty residents who indulged me to greater or lesser degrees, with this project, and other very helpful people:  (Please forgive if I've forgotten anyone!)
