Update: 08/06/22: I also added the ‘wildflowers’ book open on the desk, at the page of the Ragged Robin, which is one of the wildflowers listed on the seed pack, that I hope to use in the rewilding of Cedarwood Walk. I think this adds an extra element of context and vitality to the work, which I enjoy.
Although I am confident in my plan for the rewilding area of my work, I found over the past few days of install, that I needed to have a better, more concrete plan of how I was going to install it exactly, rather than turning up and arranging it on the day. So this morning I annotated on an image of the space as it stood yesterday evening, planning which additional elements I would use in the installation.
For me, there are two key elements to this work:
- the conveyance of my rewinding project to the viewer
- the creation of a convincing environment – which looks as though someone has been working there and has just stepped out for a minute.
The first is crucial as I need the viewer to understand the work and the reason behind it, as well as the distinction between the two works. The second isomer important to me than to my viewer – but it is the style of exhibit that I want to create in the exhibition, as I think that it will be more engaging and successful as a piece that way, and audience engagement is one of the most crucial elements of the work.
Planning the way in which I want to install and display the work has been extremely valuable in aiding my productivity and being able to achieve everything that I want to on time.
