The next decision I’m contemplating is the size of the monitor I want to put on the table. Too big and you want to stand back from it, which won’t work in a tight space. Too small and it won’t have gravitas. Not having a variety of monitors in different sizes to trial, I put different sized prints on a stand on the new table inside the structure. I think the middle size is the Goldilocks decision since it has the right amount of screen space and will encourage the viewer to stand at an appropriate distance and not feel claustrophobic.

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for three exhibitions. My solo exhibition, “Portraits From My Garden” at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, on view from June 5 – September 15, 2026, and my work that was on view in the June, 2026 group show, “Raising Women’s Voices” in Chelsea, NYC.

My next solo exhibition titled “Centering in the Midst of Chaos” will be at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, November 3 – 28, 2026.
