Day 3 of Degree Show put up
21/05/2013
Today started off a bit slow, got up late which then seemed to make everything else late (in my head that is).
The original plan was to head in for 9 (didnt happen) and construct two 6ft high by 4ft wide sides and also two of my four 6ftx6ft walls (the latter also didnt happen). However, I did manage two walls and also (with some help) have worked out how I can structurally support my cage so that it won’t warp, nor move when viewers are walking past and entering the cage itself.
During a rather lengthy discussion with a fellow student about my cage, ideas for brackets (which I really didnt get at all) and that a free standing cage may not work for this piece (both asthictically or structurally) we did agree that straw is probably the best thing to put on the floor as it will fit in with my bamboo natural feel about my cage.
Finally for this post … A few things I am currently struggling/thinking about tonight …
1. hand-in for critical review is Friday and my plan of handing it in tomorrow isn’t happening (will try for Thursday)
2. do i shred my maps up and use them as part of my bedding for the space … is this over complicating or will adding something extra … hmm
3. on my sign into my exhibit do I use the word homosapien or human to describe the “animal” in my cage ???
Answers on a postcard please.
Will add final(ish) blog tomorrow night … hopefully I will have answers for my questions and also I will have a few photographs to put up …
