The time that I can have access to the laser leveler is very restricted, so I have been feeling a bit stressed ! as this means I can only work on my wall when I have the laser leveler. And I have to give it back on Thursday the 29th june , so I decided to add my explanation marks and question marks last as this would be easy to add onto the end of my quotes without the laser leveler.
I started of putting my quotes up quite freely and as my wall has developed, my space has forced me to use more of a “puzzle strategy”. What that means is I had to start being more carful about what quotes I chose to put up and were. I had to start thinking about the sizes of the quotes in regards to what would lock in to the gaps and mold together as one nicely.
In my picture you can see ‘Just do it” in the center of the wall going diagonal. This is a perfect example of my quotes not locking into the gaps and molding with the other quotes. It looks extremely out of place and is distracting because of its individuality. I don’t want my viewers to just look at “just do it” because it looks out of place. This would distract them from interacting for the right reasons. This is one of the things I had to change and I took it down!
This also made me think how important the small things are in the art world. The “shallow” thing is, if one of my letters are a bit out of place the truth is, I believe the viewer would notice this. As a result they would think about how wonky it is in their head. I must make sure all my quotes are as equal as each other as a physical presents. Then the viewer will not be distracted with things that are not relevant to my practice.
