Seeing your work in the context of a group show always helps you open up to it in a new way. Seeing this show come together really helped get my wheels turning about where to go from here with my paintings. How has seeing your work in an exhibit changed your thoughts on it?

I love the process of hanging a show for exactly this reason. Though it can also be particularly thought provoking to come into a show with your own work that someone else has hung because they are not so deeply invested and involved in your work. They often relate it with other pieces in a different manner. Regardless, I feel that putting work into a show is a wonderful way to get a fresh perspective.
Personally, I'd love to come in and do an installation interacting with a hung show--manifest those "dialogues" that we always see happening between paintings.
