This week has been very interesting and quite productive after the break. I went directly from college to the Preview of Gary Woods Photography at Abbey Walk Gallery, and really enjoyed it. So different and technically excellent. I would recommend this exhibition.
My tutorial with Paul Sparks went very well, and he was happy with my dissertation plan, so that will just need a look over and the bibliography added to complete for hand-in. I am soooo pleased.
The third year students are beavering away with dissertation etc - due in three weeks I believe!! Ahh! I am sure they have all got this under their belt and will concentrate on their degree show/exhibition work - which is showing signs of building up.
I have now almost completed my entrance piece to my installation - the door - I put more screws in place where needed and tried the keys on the hangers - they do look as I wanted - enough showing to stimulate curiosity for the viewer. Ideas for the placement of this piece has changed course because of the weight. Anyway, talks with the Mike in 3D have been fruitful and we are all set to go with this next week, and then onto the candle piece/s.
The candle shelf work is more complex and is taking quite a bit of setting up. The small candles with the integrated money may well be a seperate piece. I am purposely taking my time with this as it has changed a few times - as readers of this blog will know.
Today I have been using Alabaster Plaster to complete my feet - the first one is looking okay, but it is difficult to photograph. The mod-roc template just about fitted the shoe - so it will only need a skim, otherwise it will be too big for the shoe. Hopefully it will be okay to use with the door piece?
I may be visiting the `Main site` next week - April rang them to see if they could help me with my performance film piece - have to admit it isn`t very good as it is. April thought it was worth going ahead to perform and film it in the proper type of studio with some technical help so I will contact them on Monday, to see what they can do to help me improve the outcome.
Feeling very positive still, and pleased with the work in production, I will take my leave until next week. A Presto mi amici!
