Thanks Brandon!
What a lovely morning email.
(damn I sound like a hippy, too much San Francisco no doubt!)

This morning I'm about to start sketching some possibilities for some
gallery spaces. Now's my chance to make the dream space for art. I'm so
excited I can barely hold a pencil long enough.

Sometimes I get freaked out about all the possibilities.

If anyone has any bright ideas they want to contribute feel free to email
me text/sketches/ whatever. At the moment I'm thinking of stuff that
dangles and twists. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, high poly count." I hear them
muttering.

I want the walls to talk.
