I missed my initial flight to Chicago and arrived close to midnight to help finish the show installation at Golden Age. After 7+ hours at JFK airport and getting my period (TMI?), it was a relief to work with owners Martine and Marco who took care of everything. Here are photos:



Late night installation in progress.

Opening photos would go here if I had taken them.

The show will be up until November 17th. Thanks to everyone who came to the opening and a particular big thanks to Martine and Marco for being amazing hosts.
