It is now the time to bring this blog to a close. The Private View has been and gone, the work is installed and on display for the forseeable future and I have finally managed to get an image of the entire work – front on.
It has been a fascinating project. The almost obsessive behaviour needed for the collecting, layering and cutting has been somehow cathartic – a release from the dear frustrations of raising small children. To have realised this project from inception to conclusion is an achievement and one that only some space and time after installation has allowed me to recognise.
I am very grateful to all those who supported me in this, Alice Lobb from artsdepot, Coppetts Wood Primary School, The East Finchley Archer and the Libraries of Barnet Borough. Many thanks also to my kind friends who routed out bits of paper for it too.
For those who care to visit the work- Paper Trail (100,000 Cuts) is available to view on Level 3, artsdepot, Tally Ho Corner, 5 Nether St, LONDON N12 0GA. artsdepot is open to the public everyday 10:00 – 4:30 (except some bank holidays).
