Soon I’m delivering art to the Washington State University Vancouver campus. I’m excited! I’m also delivering the artwork incognito. It’ll be unveiled Oct 4th so the art-content is top-secret till then so only a teaser peek allowed here.
There’s no rain in the weather forecast for delivery day but I’m not taking chances. I’ve protected the corners of my framed artwork with some cardboard corner-pocket-protectors and slipped the whole artwork in two layers of plastic wrapping. In the car for the short trip I’ll pad the artwork with bubble wrap and blankets. Still there is some distance from the University’s car park to the building where the artwork is to go – and I do live in the Pacific Northwest. Rain is the norm.
Here’s me wrapping on the 2nd layer of protection and only allowing a bit of the content to show in this photo.
Another teaser – hint : there are both dogs and cats (Clancy style) in this public art piece too. Aren’t you shocked to hear that? Lol!
After wrapping the artwork completely nothing of the art content can be seen.
If you just can’t stand the suspense – and want more details about this project – one of my last blog posts about this project is here – and that includes photos of me at work on it.
Now to work some more on my speech for unveiling-day!
