Hello All, We are very honored to announce that the documentary film, Work at Hand, Michael K. Paxton, is in the process of being archived into the West Virginia & Regional History Center, WVU, Morgantown. A huge thank you to Ms. Lori Hostuttler, Director for not only spearheading this inclusion, but also requesting all of Michael’s exhibition show cards, catalogs and reviews/features so that can be included in the archives. It will take some time for the film to be ready to view but until then here is Michael crossing a a swinging bridge over the Elk River in Clay, County WV.
