The Light at the End of the Tunnel

All of my pieces are essentially finished, and are at Plasticare to ensure tight-fitting stands. When they are returned to me (Friday at the latest) I am going to add some final adjustments. I am also working on the final panel for the second piece, which will be laser etched and painted on (and maybe screen printed on the back). Unfortunately, because of the hurry to get pieces to Plasticare, I do not have pictures of the final states of each panel. I guess it will be a surprise.
I am meeting with Catherine this week to discuss my artist statement, and also with Deborah to speak about the next works and my distinction paper.
One question for everyone, I am having some trouble writing out my labels. This is how I've done it so far, and I want to know if it's okay. I'm not sure how much information to include, such as the separate panels and all the different media.

Hanakotoba (The Language of Flowers)
Acrylic, screen printing, laser etching, drypoint and watercolor on Plexiglas

3 panels, 20”x30”x12”

I am excited to continue making work, especially considering I still have some PINS funding left. I am also looking forward to working with less pressure and more experimentation.
On a side note, I am also making a poster for the PINS symposium this Wednesday so check it out if you're there!
