- Have hung the large diptych on the wall
Kathryn Raffell, 2015, Acrylic on canvas, 180cmx120cm & 80cmx120cm.
As I wanted the mask to sit on top of the females face I experimented with how to do this and came up with the idea of magnets. One on the back of the mask, and one on the back of the canvas.
How to hold the magnet on the back of the canvas? I cut and extra wooden strut, fixed the magnet to that and then secured the strut to the stretcher. It was great solution because if the magnet had fallen away the only way to retrieve it would be to take the work off the wall.

Again she is wearing a mask, so I did the same thing using magnets to hold it in place. Stepping back it looks ok but doesn’t sit in harmony with the other.
Laying out the paintings for the last wall space.I selected the darker background pieces as they work within the overall theme of my space, or at least they really work with the diptych.
This is harder to plan than I thought it would be.
