When I first went to the hospital to discuss the residency there the subject came round to how the work would be displayed at the end. The professor was concerned about it being secure so we decided a trellis would be a good idea. It could be half screwed into the wall, then the ivy could be added and then secured tightly so the ivy can’t escape. So my task today was to find a trellis! That was the easy part but I’ve been spending the rest of the afternoon sanding it because it’s made of a soft wood with lots of potential splitters.
I’ve been asked to show my work with PAPER at the Manchester artists book fair so I’ve been working away at a new little type of book which I’m really enjoying making. I always have a panic showing work at artist book fairs in case my work doesn’t stand well against other artist books but I’m happy with these. They took a little while to work out how I was going to cut them to make them work but once I had a formula it was easy. Saying that they still take an hour or two each to make!
