The artist will complete a project that is in progress. I will make the kinds and quantities of photographs that I describe in my Artist Plan. 2: The artist will design, produce, and distribute an information packet to prospective galleries. I will receive feedback from galleries, and hope to secure an exhibition.
This project enabled me to push my technical skills in a way that will benefit my future work. I have invited many people to look at these prints to test their effectiveness. 2: I was able to increase my professional profile through a prestigious exhibition but was unable to persuade commercial gallery representation. Chinese exhibition was more than I had hoped for, but my chief goal was commercial representation in the USA. I was not successful in that regard, but I cannot control the decisions of others.
