The prints have returned

 It's a bit exciting. I haven't seen these since the gallery closed suddenly in 2022.

The prints from Desert Nanoscape of Saguache...  the ones I've talked about and haven't see in a while

I wrote these words other places - posted a video/story on IG (will be there till tomorrow)

This collection means a lot to me.

I feel like I should expand on that last line.

It was a project that I asked my Dad to help with. I sent him a small box with empty little glass vials, a sheet to write down what went in each and a simple criteria: Dry, Fit in [vials], Different.

This was just after he moved permanently to Saguache, CO.

I got the samples back and started looking at them.

12 samples. All from the high mountain desert. It wasn't quite what I expected. I thought maybe more mineral samples, rocks, different soil. it was mostly plants. And that was very cool

I went through and collected hundreds of images covering all the different things. Printed them out and shared them with him. We went through it and for his subdued self I think it seemed like it was a very cool set of images.

And then it kind of languished. No concrete outlet for the prints.

A few weeks after he passed, it came up, one thing led to another and a gallery opportunity came up. And the spring of '22 became extra insane. Show went up. People came to the opening.

And then more or less nothing after that.

Gallery closed w/o notice or warning. There was talk about taking it on the road, getting into Wash U in StL.

Nothing.

And now most of them are back here with me. To do what? I don't know.

Maybe I just need to put a price tag on them and sell them.

But they connect me, meaningfully, to my Dad
