Taking in the Laundry

October 28, 2016 by Chris | 2 Comments

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t more than a little sad to see my installation “Laundry Day” come down today. What a great chapter it was for me and my practice.

And as with many larger commissions (or grants) like this I was required to write an impact report for the funder, explaining the impact or outcomes of the project. And while it is too soon to know the full impact of this project, and it would be presumptuous of me to write about how it impacted the viewers, I shared the following initial thoughts with the presenters, the Kansas City Art Commission, and the Art in the Loop.

Here at Dahlquist Studio central, we are tickled to be traveling to Fort Worth to deliver another piece of artwork to the family of the most prominent art supporters/collectors in the city.

But, have you seen the size of our van? We still have plenty of room for the piece you have been waiting for. Take a look at what is currently available and let us know what we can bring to you while we are in town. (Can’t choose without seeing them in person? Let us know a couple of images that you would like to see and view them in your own home before you decide!)

Thanks, we look forward to seeing you soon! –  Chris
