Up against the wall

Remember when I mentioned the remodeling going on in the SR newsroom and solicited a new round of readers’ pictures and what-not that I could put up on my wall?

Well, a number of people were kind enough to send me things. And I intend to find a proper home for all of that.

But I’ve decided against essentially repeating the decorating scheme I had in place before the portable room-divider behind me was replaced with a permanent wall. Instead, I’m opting for a new approach.

One possibility is blown-up pictures taken by the SR’s fine news photographers. But making that happen would not be as simple as you might suspect.

So what do you think of this idea?

“The Slice Gallery.”

I could ask my friend Karen Mobley, the city arts director, to curate a rotating display of locally produced art that would be exhibited on the freshly painted wall behind my desk.

Sure, it’s not really a public space. Still, my colleagues and I might enjoy the variety.

And I suppose I could post pictures of the art on this blog.

But first let me check the SR’s ethics code and see if there would be any problem with me acting as the sales agent for the artists whose work I might display on my wall.

I’ll get back to you.
