'Pigeon Story' is now installed and complete. The location until the end of December is 'Pigeon Hole', in Leominster, Herefordshire. A project curated by Anna Falcini (see her blog).
I am thrilled with the result, the installation went smoothly and seemed to naturally fit the space. I am proud to have my own solo (if micro) show at Pigeon Hole. I have found the whole process to be both positive and interesting, especially to share ideas and collaborate with another Artist turned curator.
As I mentioned in a previous post an exciting extention of the project for me is to have unexpected/unexpecting viewers. Anna has told me of people peeking in and reported of a written response she has recieved and is forwarding to me. Rather appropriate I feel as my new body of work is very much going to remain with the notion of sending and recieving…..
There is something very strange about some things you take part in being very blogable and others being not so much so. I have found it very difficult during this time of preparing work for 'Pigeon Hole' to find things to blog about. It has very much been a case of organising and reorganising work until I am happy that there is sufficient to tell the pigeon's story which incidentally is what I've decided to call the work because that is exactly what it is a 'Pigeon Story'.
I met up with Anna Falcini today at her project 'Pigeon Hole', in Leominster, to install the work. The space itself is wonderful and seems to naturally invite lookers in. The act of placing and positioning the work is quite different to the use of a gallery wall. I very much like the way that the whole act is on view, from me installing it, changing and tweeking it to the finished project being on view for passers by to glance at or take more notice of as they choose. There is no ideal captive audience as the work will very much be there for all to see.
