Degree show

So…I have decided for the degree show I am going to go ahead with my wall of quotes. I have been allocated a bigger space then what I was originally working on. Therefore i have to adapt my work to fit the space it is presented in. its funny because usually the space has to fit the work but in my case because my work does not exist, the work has to fit the space.

On my allocated wall I have decided to present my work through the center of it individually. As the viewer enters the presents of my wall they will walk down it reading the quotes that related to them.

Because of the size of the wall, I am going to have to recut all my letters to a slightly bigger scale. What I am going to do though is make the letters, different sizes of different typography. As previously explained this is for an aesthetically pleasing aspect.

I have written out all my quotes and collected a few quotes from my blog. I then counted all the abc… and so on. I thought the best way to do this in the most organized and quickest way was to cut all the a’s out first, with random typography and sizes, then b’s and so on.

It turns out that all together I have 924 letters to cut out!! In one day working from 9-4 I am cutting about 150 letters out. The problem is I need to work faster because 150 a day will take me behind schedule. All I can say is, no one can question my skill, time and effort I have put into my work, that I am presenting on the degree show, even though it doesn’t exists!

List of numbers of each letter that needs to be cut.

A = 83

B = 15

C= 25

D = 30

E = 90

F = 10

G = 8

H = 30

I = 100

J = 1

K = 10

L = 26

M = 18

N = 50

O = 80

P = 25

Q = 0

R = 80

S =80

T= 100

U= 26

V=5

W= 7

X = 3

Y = 22

Z

924

I experimented with the presentation of my words, and put them in an organized order. Refer back to post 24. As a finished product, I find this looks good however it dose not drive the viewer to read it. I find it forces the viewer to look at it as a hole one piece. They are distracted by the presentation and look at the shapes and colour. I want the viewer to read the quotes and respond to the them. I have decided it is better for me to do the quotes separately on the wall as I did before.

I mentioned in my previous posts I thought it will give my work value. This is too much as a contradiction, as now on this board it has become a piece of Art with value. I don’t want to make a piece of Art. To present my quotes on the wall their is nothing physical to take away from it, apart from the thoughts and opinions impacted on the viewer. It will exists within the mind of the viewer.

Hopefully when reading this you have read my hole blog so this will make sense. There is logic behind my madness!

now to prepare for the final degree show!
