10 Big Pictures

Music | Soul Junction by John Coltrane

On April 3rd, our 10 Big Pictures 1 Little Reception took place...

This is the 2nd year Susan de Witt and I have hung our photographs on the St. Johns Coffee Roasters exterior walls. Last years project worked as intended which was to collaborate with someone and get me out of my stalled creativity...


After printing our 3x5.5 foot images, pre planning our layout got our collaboration going...


The wall and what was left over from our first go around over a year ago...


Susan's image from over 14 months. I love the degrading edges and the textures that has survived time.


Our first image pasted on the wall. I made an error in the paste recipe and it layed on opaque. We had to sponge bath the entire print with water to dilute the paste to save it. Mop and Glow floor wax went over the image next and saved the project.


The wind was not at all helpful, but the rest of the images slowly went up. Fantastic helper and model, Billy (second image from the top left) and Susan putting up number 8.


Prepping the wall for number 10...

Thanks to Susan de Witt again for this years installment. Thanks to St. Johns Coffee Roasters for supporting public outdoor art and the great drinks served daily! All of our supporters and viewers, thank you!
