The more I look at it, I think you're right that the shelving sometimes is louder, visually, than the work - and especially so in these photos. I'd take a very different approach to setting my work in a gallery. The challenge is to make the background inexpensive and easily transported; I'll be looking for inspiration at other shows. One easy route is to make more of the larger pieces - which, for other reasons, happens to be my plan. Jim: I’m amazed it got into my car, too.

My suggestion would be to strive for a greater balance between the clayware and the architecture scaffolding, right now, the architecture is outspeaking the art, but I think that is wrong because your artistic work should be dominant, beside the fact that that is what you are hawking. Not that architecture isn't 'art', it is, just more order-ruled. The Renaissance (Italian) Architects strived for this balance between the two natures. Just an opinion.
