The shelves are all painted and dry, lined up on the studio floor ready to package for Edinburgh. LOOK AT ME calling it “the studio”. There’s no furniture in here yet except for a little desk by the window, so the floor’s available for making a mess. Perhaps I should keep it like this. Only three posts ago I was writing about how I tend to set up designated art-making spaces only to work elsewhere, but now I’m making three-dimensional things again it’s more practical to keep everything in one contained room. A STUDIO.
Here’s a photo of the STUDIO floor.
And here are a couple of the trials I’ve been doing for the shelves. I’d been planning to make all the shelf poems in advance and bring them up ready to install. But they’ll get scrunched up in the suitcase and all the smooth lines will be crimped and might need replacing. So I think it makes more sense to bring the equipment and make the poems on site, even if the install takes longer. Site writing.
It means there’s less of a rush today too, which is a relief. There’s a lot of paperwork accumulating.
