After seeing a panic post on face book from Mr. Damon Reaves about a frame builder pulling out at the last minute on production need of educational director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and not being able to produce the frame structure of over 10 feet by 4 feet in size. Poetica saw his post and inboxed Damon asking if he still needed help, he confirmed his close to impossible need. She agreed to produce the structure with her own resources if compensated and reimbursed by Museum which  took over 30 days to produce compensation check for the 24 hour turn around time that Poetica Bey Met.  the project was part of a funded grant produced for youth programming at the Philadelphia Museum of the Arts for Beckett Life Center.







Photo of Poetica between performances and rehearsals to spend time in the wood shop in heels to produce the frame immediately, band saws, power sanders, drills amongst many other tools were enlisted to complete the project without
safety wear or proper clothing. Poetica provided the hard wear also for reconstruction of frame after transportation
which was a small personal vehicle driven by Damon.
