(In late April, we brought on Fionna to help with the digitizing of archive materials and with preparations for the premiere of the Tom Walker B-Side Collection at the Lunder Institute at Colby College this June and Bread Loaf at Middlebury College this July)
May 2nd/3rd: a initial test sketch with Tom’s materials
May 4th: Dracut Historical Museum & Harmony Hall (we learned a LOT about Dracut on this trip and we highly recommend taking the tour with Barbara if ever the chance to visit on a Sunday between 1-3pm arises)
May 16th: Picked up 85in TV screen for the exhibit (I’m pictured laying next to it for scale below)
May 22nd: Let’s Talk Lowell with DIY Lowell
May 26th: First sunny morning in like, a week- morning walk on the trail thru Beaver Brook Farm; becoming enraptured by the brook (pictured below) first thing in the morning set up a very productive day
May 29th: a theatrically large box (pictured below on porch with fionna posing in the doorway behind)
Sometime between May 29th and 30th… woke up on the 30th and the fountain had been erected in the sun room
May 30th: Worked on exhibit poster layout
May 31st: first session with Jade; she and Fionna helped
May 30th/31st: Collected images from the past month and dumped them in this post with some notes on the relative goings-on… 2 weeks till Colby College and still much to do and more to come … here’s this1 in the meantime:
