time was now seriously running out, and a final obstacle was the let-down of no framing for the canvas prints. after much deliberation steve concluded there was no option other than to mount the canvases on boards instead of frames, but even this brought its own complications. for the final three days before the doors were due to open, neither steve nor his daughter kellie had any sleep whatsoever—in fact they hadn't even had time to return home even to shower and change clothes. with only hours before opening, friends were popping into the studio with offers of last-minute help, and each of them was given a task. there was no time to mount all of steve's work, so he decided to spread out the canvases over every surface and floor edge so at least they could be viewed.
