There was a slight change today with arrangements regarding my wall. I have moved to the wall opposite my original wall space. This wall will have a better light and is about two meters shorter (approx.). This reduce in size should not sacrifice my final piece, because I will work with the space, not the space to my work.
Painting the wall
I painted the wall white and filled the holes in. the only problem is that the walls are not smooth and have a few cracks!! This is a inconvenience but the best I can do is sand the cracks down, however this only makes it look better and not disappear!
So how am I going to present my quotes on to the wall?
As it stands today, I am thinking to go through the center of the wall at average eye level. I do not want the quotes organized into a straight line, because this would be to organized and planed. In my mind, I am thinking to place the quotes randomly but maintained through the center of the wall.
This placement onto the wall, will also represent the way, portraits, and paintings ect are usually hanged, which is through the center of a wall. It is just “Art logic” to go through the Centre. Their would be no logic to it being everywhere all over the place. Logic? Yes may be a contradiction but I do need to have some boundaries! Secretly, so do not tell the viewer …
Because the wall is so big compared to what I was previously working on, if I put the quotes all over, top to bottom like before, the quotes will get lost. I believe It will just be too much for the viewer to take everything in. however going through the center I do believe It will encourage the viewer to read the work rather then look. After all if they don’t read it, my work wont exist.
I Will see how it goes, by the end of this week I want to start placing my quotes on the wall. Things may change, I wont know until I do it and ill go with the flow of what just feels right.
How am I going to make sure my quotes are straight?..
Does it even matter?
Do I want it to look hand made?
