Q: What are we looking at here?
\nA: The secret part of a frame.
\nQ: What does that have to do with anything?
\nA: Well, it’s a symbol.
\nQ: What is success?
\nA: I think success is not so much a measure of monetary gain or fame, but rather that you’re doing something
\nyou love, constantly learning, and that you’re generally happy with the work you do.
\nQ: How does this symbol relate to measuring success?
\nA: Lately I’ve been getting the feeling that I’m “making it.”\u00a0My growth has been very slow, but that’s what
\nkeeps it sustainable. One gallery at a time, one subscriber at a time, one photograph at a time.
\nThis frame symbolizes both my successes with getting my work out into the world, and also
\nthe struggles. Between the physical difficulties of preparing work for a show, to the interpersonal
\nchallenges of tough gallerists, to the sacrifice of time I make to market myself and stay in people’s minds.
\nIt’s hard work, but I love it. Each new show I’m part of teaches me something. Above all: I’m happy.<\/p>\n
I guess that means I’m a big success, even if I only have 371 followers on Instagram. Thank you for being a part of the journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
