After several weeks of preparation, by piece “Sings of Life” is now being installed in Stockton-on-Tees, part of the Light : Space Light Trail curated by Wild Vision Collective. Because of lock-down I am not travelling there to install it myself, but rather entrusitng it to a young woman called Rachel Anderson, who is setting it up at this moment. I spectacularly underestimated the amount of time it would take to set up. The drafting film curls are not performing as I hoped. I rolled them tightly to send to Stockton — too tightly. Instead of being a matter of just placing them on the base layer paper, Rachel is having to uncurl and stick each one — and there are over 200 of them! The miraculous thing is that the rather arbitrary length of 7.25 metres of base layer drawing was exactly right. It fits the window space perfectly! See next blog for the complete instaliation.
My allocated space below. Glad to see it is blue — and low. Will suit my very low lying work well.
