Exhibition ideas

What next?

right now i am playing around with thread and crochet.

This is all very sketchy right now. I am totally at the beginings of this am just trying lots of things out. i am enjoying working like this alot as these maquettes and photos are my research and I like when you can start to see ideas jumping out from them. I am planning to do a lot more photography so i am going to invest in a nice shiney digital slr. I am very excited.

Back at college

Its been a we while since i updated this so here it is. We had our first exhabition back at college last week. It went really well! It was very busy which was great. and we are now looking forward to our next one in 3 weeks. We are planning an aftershow party to raise money for our college trip and hopping to reinvent the exhabition space somehow. Its all very busy and exciting at college right now. I finally decided on this photo for the exhabition.

I wasnt sure how to present it but finally came to the idea of making another thread Square on the floor infront of it.

I wanted to keep it all close to the ground and away from eye level so that it would go unoticed at a first glance. i liked the idea of the viewer not noticing the threads and pins in the floor and accidently troding on them, like you can see in the picture they have become less tense and slightly dirty. I think of this very much part of it. I wanted the photo close to the ground aswell. as i wanted the viewer to have to slightly strain to see it hopefull puting this feeling of tension on there neck, back and legs Slightly echoing the strain on my feet and body when i stood in the square of thread.

I had a last minute exhabition piece as well wich paniced me a little. it was quite a large exhabition space with 3 rooms so it was a little bare in one of the rooms so they asked for some stuff which i had on my wall. i put in a couple of drawings, some crochet (which i thought looked too cobwebby) and a shirt which i had sewn comletely shut so it was unwearable as part of a one day project. I was a little aprehensive as i had never put a drawing on display ever before but it was fine.
