I am so exhausted. After the workshop this morning we set up the installation in the Roald Dahl Haemostasis & Thrombosis Centre. We had planned to show it on a trellis but the professor preferred us to use panel pins to attach it to the walls or ceiling of the corridor. This proved to difficult to achieve as we couldn’t reach the ceiling on the ladders and I was concerned about marking the walls with lots of holes. But the opposite wall of the corridor has a panel of glass windows on it with viewing into the waiting room. By putting it here the installation could be seen on entering the centre and also viewed whilst waiting for appointments. But I didn’t want to mark the frame work with lots of holes either so I had to change the way I was going to display the work by gathering lots of pieces together to pin up using a single pin and then repeating this process at a minimal. Then we worked from these points adding more ivy by wrapping it around the previous pieces. Not ideal but I’m not as disappointed as I first thought I’d be when I realised displaying it would be difficult. We also had to take into consideration that children shouldn’t be able to reach it easily so it couldn’t venture down the windows very far.
It’s not as invasive as I’d hoped but I think it’ll attract attention, hopefully encourage recycling and is a nice addition to their centre.
