I was only able to set up and attend opening night which was very successful. I found that even though we had a very short space of time to put this exhibition together we all compromised with each other and discussed spots for our work. Each student brought their own wirk and ideas into the space and I found that it tied the space together as some responded tot he space and others works complimented each other.
For me I was interested in creating very delicate installations that appeared fragile and subtle. I then wanted to introduce an unexpected element witht he intense vibrant neon yellow circle to work against that subtlty.
Near the entrance I hung a work from my 'Captured' series in between the two doors. I found that it had a subtle relation to Devon's video works based around the beauty of nature. I also chose to hang this work as I found the leaves brought in the wood from the walls and floor of the beautiful church. This installation hung delicately and blew in the presence of any breeze. Josie also placed her quiet breathing installation beneath my work which I felt enhnced the delicacy of the work as it moved.
I placed my work with rainbow strands of nylon embedded in the glue sheet in the frame of a side door. I found that hanging it from the nylon strands would emphasise the fragility of the installation and have it suspended inforund of the wall to see the semi translucency of the PVA glue.
I am now interested in moving onto more elegant works, still focusing on nylon but taking it away form the experimental/gluggyness of the PVA glue and bringing out the beautiful tension created between layers of nylon.
