The Madonna and Child Project Installation!

The Madonna and Child Project is installed!  Everything is ready for the opening reception tomorrow night!  My husband and I went in together and thanks to his skill and expertise we were able to install everything in about two hours.  I am so excited I can hardly express myself.  As every different portrait went up I thought about the models involved, their stories, their experiences.  Every one of these pieces means something to me.  I feel almost like I have this bond to each and every one of the mothers who participated in my project.  

Many of these mothers I have never even met in real life.  We met over facebook or through blogs, and I learned these intimate details of their lives, their birth story.  I almost feel as though they are my sisters on some level.  I feel strangely protective of them, as I would a sister. 

I am so excited for tomorrow night.  I'm so excited to share this all with you.   Please come to the Muir Gallery at 7:00pm for the opening reception.
