WB 16th May
On Monday I painted 2 layers of paint onto my boards; 3 layers on the main light box and 2 on the slats for the edges of the light box. I also helped other people to tape up their boards and prepare the layouts of their exhibition spaces. Furthermore I came to the conclusion that I would have the big light box in the corner, away from the walls a little as to allow for the switch to have room, meaning that I don't need to rewire it, as I thought I might have to at one point.
Tuesday I painted the last layer on the slats and joined them carefully back to the light box, ensuring that the newspaper inside was straight. With help from the technician I placed the light box on the wall and made a leg stand for the corner, which includes a steel rod sitting in a hole in the floor for extra stability.
Wednesday I got my six images for my exhibition printed; attached my small light box to the wall; found sewing pins and started to put a couple of my paper pieces up, planning what goes where. I also brought in spotlights, which I went and bought bulbs for, but realising they are the wrong size needed to replace on Thursday.
Thursday, I finished all paint work; bought correctly sized bulbs and put up the spotlights behind the boards. I also put up my photographs and most of my paper pieces.
Friday, the final day for exhibition spaces. I hung my last paper piece; hung my tiles on the wall; hung my wave piece in the small light box; placed all my pieces on the large light box and shelf. And finally touched up the paintwork on my plinth and placed it in the correct part of the room with my final piece.
In considering my media output of my FMP, I realised that unlike I had proposed in my statement of intent, I have not been posting weekly onto Instagram. This is due to me feeling the importance of having a considered and clean feed that is as professional as possible. Instead, I propose that I will post my favourite images from my FMP at the end of my project. This allows me to be careful and more confident in my presentation. My Tumblr link in my Instagram bio then leads interested audiences to the work of greater interest and depth if they wish to go further.
