I've looked in the archives and haven't been able to find a suitable
discussion about my current dilemma, so here it goes. I'd like some
advice about the philosophy behind choosing which photos to send in
to juries (I'm currently aiming for several shows in FL in February
2008). I have read several articles about presenting a "tight body of
work" or having a "theme," and I have all of the Bruce Baker CDs, but
I want some specific advice. I braid and weave sterling and gold
wire, including a lot of Viking Knitting, with which I do things I've
never seen anywhere else. Do I present three different VK chains (all
are necklaces) as a "tight body of work," or should I also include
pics of my other techniques (flat weave bracelets, multi-strand
braiding)? My booth shot does show bracelets and earrings, though not
close-up. Will festival auditors freak out when they see not just my
Viking knit chains, but other kinds of wirework (same materials and
solderless ethic)?
I have been getting into smaller (?) shows with my old portfolio that
did include one photo of each type, but my perception is that the big
shows in south Florida may require a different presentation of my
work.
Thanks!
