SPACE AND PLANNING
Now it really starts- we’ve just been allocated our exhibition spaces for the show. Everything seems more real now as I begin to measure up my space and start to think about the different possibilities of exhibiting my work.
The area I’ve been allocated is two larger self-contained spaces that are located next to the upstairs corridor and slightly separate from the larger shared spaces. There are two elements to my work at the moment: my site investigations and documentation (tools, photography and video) and my material findings so I feel that this space could work well. I anticipate that I will use the smaller of the two rooms to bear the physical load of material from Dallam House. At present, I see the larger room as a space that brings together elements of this process.
I have also been using SketchUp, a 3D modeling software which has been extremely helpful in visualizing the space and has really encouraged me to think about the decisions I will have to make before and during installation.
