Here we go again… does anyone else have as many problems deciding how to display their work?
I have 3 or 4 items of embroidered clothing. I’d like people to be able to see the back, or at least a glimpse that there is stuff at the back. I don’t want the means of display to be what is noticed. From the group crit the other week, my means of display – the chest of drawers – took on far too much importance. I want people to look at the items of clothing and what I have embroidered on them. My practical skills are pretty minimal, and I have no money. I have spent hours on scribbling ideas in my sketch book and they’re all pretty rubbish.
So if anyone out there has an idea of what I might be able to do I’d be very grateful indeed.
I may end up just putting them all on clothes hangers and dangling them from the ceiling… seems as simple a method as any, if not a bit lazy? This of course, means I need a room with a ceiling I can hang them from, while still getting some natural light onto them. Those of you that know the School of Art in Margaret Street will know this isn’t easy… where you have beautiful light, you don’t have an accessible ceiling!
What would be really useful is my own personal curator/technician.
AAArrrggghhh!
