I am exhausted! It sounds stupid but my eyes are really strained from trying to focus!! As I move the pieces around to cut them my eyes follow the shape so are constantly moving and the different shades against each other make it difficult too. Not many more days to work so intensely now and I know that if I slack off I’ll only regret it.
Carol emailed the images of the mould spores at Wolstenholme from last year and I was surprised that it’s not as beautiful as I remember. She’s right they do overlap a lot but I don’t think I can have mine doing that still. I feel I’m off in a different direction if I keep them like that and the installation isn’t as I had planned. I also think I’d feel compelled to do it to all of them if I do it to some. That would probably make a very beautiful installation though, haha. I’ll try and stay open to the idea of overlapping for now and see how I feel when I go back to the gallery. I only took photographs of whole walls when I installed the work, thinking that I’d need to see where gaps had to be filled or pieces needed moving, but it didn’t occur to me to take some close ups and the photos aren’t high enough resolution to zoom in far enough to see the overlapped ones well, so they might look different to what I remember.
