Innovation
Ok- down to work. My job is to image all the artwork in my studio and lay it out in a professional book design program (I use InDesign. Why? Because all the major book publishers use it so if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.)
Now to my most favorite part: looking at each piece on its page and poring over my collection of classical poetry (including but certainly not limited to: Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, Robert Frost, Ralph Waldo Emerson) and seeing what line would suit the image best.
Then the book is assembled into a real live 8 x 11 hard-bound volume, complete w/ dust jacket, front and back flaps, and all. Now that's a lot more compact than the mountain of masterpieces you stared with. But of course you get those back too to do what you want with. You may want to still save them, but now you don't have to feel bad when twenty years later you find them all stuck together in a massive mound from having been in storage for two decades. You can always use your coffee-table book as a reference to identify the remains.
