I’ve run into some issues with my larger piece. Due to the size of the piece it can’t fit comfortably onto a work table and due to this I use the floor to lay it on and cut out whilst sitting on it and working around the piece methodically.
I’ve come back to it after christmas and found numerous foot prints on the black paper. People have been walking very callously on my actual work instead of treating other peoples work with respect.
At first I was very upset about it, but now i’ve decided to adapt the piece to be presented on the floor when the time comes for the whole degree show.
Once all the layers have been added I plan to put a thin sheet of plastic over the piece and keep it on the floor. Through this people can walk on the piece and interact with it like a mosaic without potentially destroying it. Its an interesting idea for something very delicate and time consuming to be walked and trampled on.
