I have measured out my space for the degree show and can begin to plan what pieces of my work I am going to hang. I have drawn a rough scale drawing of the space.
Kathryn Raffell, 2015, Pencil on A3 paper sheet.
BUT first step is to clear everything from the space and make good and paint the walls (white walls first) and I am going to use this as thinking time!
Although I have definitely decided on which piece to put on the wall facing the opening and the right hand side wall, the left hand wall is a little trickier as the other pieces of my work are much smaller and I will need to really think about how best to represent my theme of exploring figurative forms and its concealment and decoration.
Plan of action:-
- Hang the large diptych on the facing wall
- Hang the other large canvas on the right hand wall
- Stand the rest of the small canvas portraits against the left hand wall and see how it all fits together.
- Hang the selected smaller pieces
- Put up the postcard holder (I remembered last year’s show used these, they looked good and meant that you didn’t need anything taking floor space to put them onto)
- STAND BACK AND SEE HOW THE SPACE WORKS AS A WHOLE!
