in getting to think about how the drawings are displayed: I have thought about framing the three paintings / drawings in order to present them altogether as a tryptic. they make more sense together.
the image attached to this post helps visualise this.
in have also been working on how the light installation shall be installed:making drawings from the things that will make it function. this will be scanned in and uploaded shortly…
This images was first uploaded onto the Transmission Gallery website under my profile.

Here I wanted to play around with the notion of how something can be displayed, using visual language and concept in order to re-visualise something, work something out. Each of these nine drawings is taken either from a documentary photograph of a film being made, or is taken from a still of the film that has been made.
The film in questions makes a visual and physical link between the alter flats, the patterns in the design, the tools that were used to manufacture the temporary pendulum that the camera was swung from (several extension leads plugged into the mains above – in the attic). The film makes the connection, through function, between the attic and the publicly accessible floor in the church.
The drawings were separated and inserted into old slide frames. This makes a further reverence to how something is recorded / documented, how it is stored and then how it is displayed.
These are some images from a project I am currently working on: culminating in a visual exhibition, the work has taken on elements of research and exploration into architectural space and function. The subject is a church, in which the exhibition itself will be held. I am exploring notions of representation as the building is seen as a functional arena, a timepiece, and an example of period interior design. Furthermore the idea of hidden / non-public space that is functional to the place as a timepiece (the bell tower) will be represented in the physically accessible alter flats.
The symbols are taken from the design on the alter flats, yet are painted systematically to engage with the page and lines in which they fit. The other imagery is made up from notational script / ideas / scribbles as well as plans and forecasts of what will eventually be a self emanating light installation.
