Exhibition Set-Up

Tuesday, the day before our exhibition opening- We met as a group at The Bay Horse, eager to install our work. After emailing both Ali and Adriano the night before, I was told that we were unable to take down any of the work that was already on the wall as it had to stay in situ, meaning that we were going to put our work up on the back wall of the pub. Firstly, we organised our samples roughly on the floor - now with 36 beautiful textiles pieces, and decided which should be raised onto canvas.



We worked well as a team, each playing helpful roles to the production of the installation. We were able to construct our wall piece in no time at all, only leaving spaces for the canvas pieces- as we found that we needed to buy some larger pins for these items to attach onto the wall with. Myself and Emily volunteered to go back tomorrow morning before the exhibition, just to pin the remaining few pieces up, and to make sure that the presentation of work was acceptable for the opening. 





I am looking forward to the opening of the event tomorrow night- it will be a nice way to end our first year. It also means that we'll be able to have a look at other work produced by the School of Art.
