yesterday

yesterday i did three important things. 1. i glued the hanging key holes on the back of the large sargasso piece. i did not take any images because watching glue drying is boring.

2. i also did a test hang of the tractor piece in my studio.



it took 2 hours from start to finish and i learnt a lot of things that will help during the real install of the show. i think it looks pretty good.

this is the first time it has really been totally finished.

i think it hangs off the wall nicely, with just a small gap at the back.

3. the next thing i did was unpack all the badges from the photographers.

then i put magnets on the back of them.



and i worked on the installation of the badges for the exhibition.

i have been saving these cardboard squares for at least 5 years now. they are a packing material that i collected because it looks useful, (this is very unlike me)

but they have come in handy, for this display.

in the exhibition the installation will be in a horizontal rectangle, but the space i had available in my studio was a vertical space. there will be a bit more space around each cardboard square in the real installation. i like that the squares reference a product display but are a bit rough.

and this is me exhausted at the end of the day, but i was able to cross three things off my list.
