Well everything I’ve completed is up! Not sure how I feel about it yet. I thought there’d be more space filled and I don’t know if it feels organic enough either. But there’s plenty of time to adjust it, just not plenty of time to make more. I kept finding myself making patterns, lines or some sort of order to them.
I’m very happy with the first wall, well I am at the moment. But I’m not happy with the rest really and the last wall isn’t good at all because I didn’t have enough pieces. I’ll have to see how many I can make this week to fill that space.
Carol helped me to sort the pieces into piles of different shades to begin with and then we placed them on the floor in a sort of order so the shades would blend into one another. I like the spaces in-between the work almost as much as the work but only some spaces are effective at the moment. And I think you have to be there really to see any impact they have, the photos are really rubbish, you just can’t get the feel of the work.
Not sure there is a lot to see either, I know there’s a lot on the walls, but I’m worried about it being viewed as all the same. I like them because everyone is different but I’m worried people might walk into the space and think ‘oh is that it?’ and not take a closer look.
I like that they become something together that can be viewed as a whole but I hope people look at them individually too!
I’m so grateful to Carol, it would have taken me the rest of the weekend to get it all installed and I would have dithered more if I didn’t need to get stuck in because I was wasting someone else's day. I’m going to spend tomorrow and the rest of this evening making more.
First one on the wall
