So as the pressure seems to be mounting the solutions are having to be found for the show.
I have a space in fact two spaces which is good. Not a 100% sure if they will work but thats how it goes with a huge show and issues of curation.
I’ve been in the studio for the last week working on a giant balloon as a basis for one of the sculptures I intend to show, and as the week went on so the balloon deflated! I managed to sort it in the end but technical issues just get on top at this stage in the game.
I’m approximately a week behind on the small sculptures that I have been making to go in the second space of the show due to the workshops running out of resin, now sorted but non the less behind. I’m still really experimenting with these small sculptures which are painted aluminium bases and layers of resin and metal fleck – which is used in modding and spraying cars to get custom effects.
The display of these sculptures which are 5x5cm and a height of between 8- 12 cm is a problem. I want to display them on custom sized 80cm tall plinths at 5×5 cm which would jut out of the gallery space walls, seamless and sterile. Not sure if this can happen now, due to health and safety and construction concerns. I’m really in a state of limbo as I wait to be told what I can’t do.
So in the mean time Im getting on with the resin work for the sculptures.
Heres some other early images of the bases for the sculptures and the balloon in my messy studio with its inital layer of fibres.
