I forgot to post last year that just before lockdown I visited an exhibition, 'A Step Beyond: Contemporary Footwear, Functional to Fashionable' at the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis Parsons and met the curator, Jo Lauria, who was giving a tour to a group of friends. As I was the only other person in the gallery she invited me to join them. That evening I sent her an email to thank her for including me and mentioned, somewhat sheepishly, that I made miniature shoes. To my astonishment she replied that she had heard of me from shoemaker Chris Francis and had hoped to contact me to include some of my work in the exhibition but had been unable to find me on social media. Quel dommage! It would have been an honor to be a part of that show.
