My film still pieces began by a window, but as more work was put up we made a decision to take all the work down as it was starting to look like a jumble sale.
We laid out all the pieces on the ground and tried to come up with a general theme running throughout the pieces. The colours Red, Black and White were repetitious within the work.
We placed out the sculptural work first, then the larger paintings, and then tried to fit the rest around. Smaller pieces in fact needed more wall space than the large, and we varied the placement height of each piece, by leaning some paintings on the floor.
I had a bit of a disaster with my film stills piece. I had placed each photo in a glass frame and as I was hanging them from the roof, one slipped and smashed. I decided to display the pieces without frames and in a different layout to the original way I had hung them. I used bulldog clips to link each piece and the ending result actually looked a lot more effective than in the beginning.
I laid out my bucket and shirts for my performance so that it looked like a sculptural piece you could walk around and view
In the end we devised our space well I feel and after the finishing touches where applied, it felt rewarding. All our weeks of work had come together well in time for opening night tomorrow.
