I have been trying to solve the problem regarding incorporation of the ‘tent’ in my installation for the Degree Show. Because it won’t be possible for me to hang the ‘tent’ like I did in the studio, I had to think of some other solution. I found myself constructing some complicated structures, before coming up with the idea of using the frame from one of the very cheap gazeboes that can be bought in all DIY stores. Because I want to keep the costs down it was the perfect solution if it would work. If I had to make a great wooden or steel frame it would be far too expensive. It also has to be a structure that easily can be taken apart and reassembled in the Gallery, so transport to the Gallery won’t be too complicated either. In college I assembled the thing and I very quickly realized that the structure would be far too big. I decided to try just to play with the different pieces, and I managed to make a small frame by only using some of the pieces provided in the kit. I didn’t like the look of the white metal frame so I wrapped it in socks and tights. I am very pleased with the outcome of this little experiment and I will definitely use this method for the installation.
