Finished

I took the last pieces over today to add to the installation. Three had fallen down! I hope that doesn’t happen on the night.

I changed quite a lot but it didn’t take long. I altered the position of the ones that were overlapping and I think it makes a huge difference. I added the pale ones to the end panel and took a few from other areas to make them blend better. I focused on pieces forming lines together and altered them, obvious colour differences, and areas that weren’t defined enough or were too defined. I’m much happier now, although there’s a lot of room for improvement if I had a little more time to make more. All the small pieces have made a huge difference.

Pam asked me if I’d like to show examples of my other work in my studio space for the p.v. so I’m going to rush around this evening sorting stuff out and I’ll get my husband to take me over tomorrow evening and arrange it all. Gave the space a little sweep before I left today, just need to clean the shelves before I put anything in there now.

I’m thinking of showing my ‘Forest: Lungs of the World’, ‘Illegal Logging’ and ‘Pores for Thought’ as the main pieces as these lead well into book altering/making and then I could advertise the tree book workshop. I might have photos on the wall of past work too but I’m not sure yet, depends how much I can get done tonight. Pam also asked me if I could write a bio for people to read at the P.V, I’ve just finished that and I’ve also done a small write up on book art to go in my studio space. It sounds like I’m really organised, but I’m not at all!

Anyway I’m pleased with the work I’m showing, probably happier with it than anything I’ve shown before. Fingers crossed the P.V goes well and people come along to it! It might just be the Arena Artists, me and my husband!
