Has any one experienced this when an installation of your art is featured in a GALLERY WALL or entire space for the public to watch...I have many times, feels like who are these\ people looking into my world..every time..feels stuffy like i'm about to choke.
Please share your thoughts on this..for decades I've had this exposure every-time being bombarded with eyes that pierce the soul also a very rewarding interaction to receive feedback from the un-knowing mind.
My last major exhibit in Philadelphia two person show called "Defining the edge"..photo of opening night..the walls all my work and all those people..what a mix.

Hi there Gomez!
I don't have anything to share about paintings but I guess it's kinda the same with written works. I am into writing and soon I will be experiencing people seeing a part of me when they will be able to read my works and I guess I like it when I'm able to share what I have inside to other people and I can't wait to see and hear different reactions from them.
Congratulations with your exhibit and may all the next ones be really successful like your last one.

The difference in between the pros and the dreamers , is the ability to let the world see them as they are.It is the pain that they look for,the way they relate to you as the artist.Let them in and all will be good.Don't be afraid or apprehensive at all ,let it flow regardless of the outcome.This is the only way your art will work, because that's where its from, dig it.I know you, let your art rip the world a new a$$.

Isn't that the point of a showing? To let people step a little ways into your world, and perhaps your mind, just a little? I have never had a gallery show, but when people see my work, this is how I feel, like I am just letting someone walk into my mind and see every thing there. I don't like big crowds of people that I don't know so, I guess it would feel like choking or smothering, even.
