Busy day today, in and out of the studio.
Second day in my degree show space today didn’t get all id hoped I would but I’ve made a start. I spent well over an hour removing copious amounts of white-tac off all four walls. White-tac is a little bit like chewing gum – very stringy and hard to remove.
Next I removed all of the pins, hooks and nails left in the walls and ceilings from previous installations. This has revealed lots of holes and cracks that need filling in before I can start thinking about painting the walls. I hope to be able to get everything filled and sanded by the end of tomorrow, ready for the first coat of paint Wednesday.
Need to ask the powers that be about painting the floor white or getting it cleaned as it doesn’t look very clinical at the moment.
The first picture shows the fruits of my labor. The second picture shows a sign on the door that I intend to keep. I think the ‘now wash your hands’ sticker will add to the clinical look of my show and I like its irony.
