The final outcomes

Over the past week I have worked every free waking hour to complete fabric photographs. I’m not sure what to call them. Are they textiles? I have made five pieces. One with a cardigan inserted and many loose ends. Three with loose ends. The fifth has two sides but no loose ends. I anticipate that I have more than I need but I wanted choice at the point of the exhibition installation. Today I am working in the Photographic Studio with Ben (technician) and Ricki (fellow student) to take photos of the five. It will help me to decide which to use and provides a different angle on presentation.

It’s a serious business!

The hanging method is good (fine cotton crochet thread is discreet but slow. Good for the exhibition if there is time and patience.

For speed I have used clothes hangers to move the pieces around. I especially like the shadows behind some of the slides. The coat hangers work well with the domestic nature of the work. It will be necessary to get close to the work. I hope people will move around and go back and forth to look. Is it all too obvious? I wanted to make the photographs talk more. I hope I have succeeded.
