I’VE FINISHED!!!!! put the wooden beading on the bottom of my space today, so that’s everything done. the opening night is this saturday. so excited! it should be a really good show this year, i’ve had a quick look round and there is a lot of quality work about, better than previous years, i’d say. About five undergrads are doing figurative painting like me, and the standard for that is certainly very high.
remembered my camera today! unfortunately the battery went after the first few pictures so i’ll take the rest tommmow. today i re-measured the skull placements, then put them on, put up my labels and biseness cards, re -painted the sky in the one of adam, re-painted the edges of all the portraits where they had got skuffed during instalation; cleaned up the skulls where they had been flicked with white at some stage, signed the skulls and signed kate. all i have to do now is paint the wooden beading that is going along the bottom of the boards, which should be up by tommmorow. da daaaa…. can’t beleive its all done! looking forward to opening night. i had to dye a pair of my shoes black today as i don’t have a black pair to go with the dress i’m wearing on opening night. oh, the joys of being a student….!
well, i would put up more photos but i, erm, forgot my camera this morning. d’oh!!! anyway, today i re streched the skull pictures as they where sagging in the middle, then painted all the outside edges on all the paintings the same white as the wall, so they wouldn’t look dirty. then i hung the portraits. tryed to hang the skulls but they kept going in the wrong place so i must have got the measerments wrong somewhere (mathemeatics never my strong point)… i’ll definately put up a photo of the whole exhibition tommmorow. hardly anyone was in the art school today, they must all be at home, frantically painting their exhibition pieces…
all finished! just done the last skull. i’m putting up the pictures tommorow, so i’ll photograph them all then.
painted my exhibition space today. will take a photo on monday. did another skull painting yesterday, for my one, i think ill put them all up at once, on sunday. my space is just under 14foot, which is a very reasonable size indeed.
