Preparations for Henry Horenstein: Show

 

Today we're in the final swings of getting up the Henry Horenstein exhibit at the gallery.  For the last show, Keliy (the artist) and her husband Matt hung the pictures up themselves but generally Catherine does her own.  So this time she taught me all about installing? which, unfortunately, involves math and stuffs :(
