Its all over now..... 3 weeks of material manipulation and its all finished now. I've really enjoyed this time and hopefully (fingers, toes and eyes crossed) il be able to enjoy the next 3 years in sculpture.
The room has really seemed to gel together and with so many ideas floating around and everybody willing to give their opinions constructively it will definetaly be a group to be reckoned with.
Late this week we removed all the tables (with Mike Cannings encouragement) and after quietly grumbling about the reality of working on the floor and the lack of storage space I finally accepted the fact that it did make sense (although I wouldn't be able to work that way for long), with all the tables gone the room seemed bigger and the sculptural pieces were able to be presented in less conventional ways.
My area seemed almost clinical compared to everywhere else, due to the lack of color (black & white) but it did seem to fit in well with all the other works that were created around the room. I finished the brainstorm wall off by running the images onto the floor, the screen was turned around so the inside became visible which gave an interesting visual effect (nothing like what I had imagined) I had intended to lay out my pieces in an installation style grouping with all of them working together but in hindsight the pieces I created worked much better as seperate works and overall I was happy with the layout.
I will upload the images as soon as I get a spare moment and good luck to everyone, I hope you all get your first choices x
