MA INSTALLATION COMPLETE

It’s been a LOONNNGG time coming but I’ve done it! Totalling about 980 hours making in the studio and around 60 hours installing it this week, and I’m so thrilled to see my plans become a reality, what I imagined and dreamt of become an actual thing in an actual room!

AND I filmed it all, cos I know you guys would love to see it coming alive.
Firstly here is my studio visit video from last Tuesday… right in the middle of the work.

And here is a timelapse movie of the installation from beginning to end.

I give you a little glimpse of the final result here but of course I’ve taken copious video footage and stills, plus have some professionals lined up to get some quality imagery in the next few days, so I’ll keep you waiting, do some organising and editing and promise to share them with you as soon as they’re ready.

So what’s next?

Put my feet up? catch up on sleep? go on holiday? oh I wish!! Not quite yet. The work is being examined this week before the exhibition opens to the public on Thursday, so I have fliers to hand out, meetings, the Private View and invigilating, BUT on top of that I now have to write up all the documentation to hand in to complete my MA. The problem with having made so much work is that there is a LOT that needs writing about! (I didn’t think this through did I?!) I’ve got to write an essay, create a digital portfolio of supporting work, put together a professional development file and compile a digital logbook sharing all the research, thoughts and conclusions. I really tried to get all this going alongside my art making but it soon got engulfed as the work got so full on and so much fun!

Anyway, enough about the boring stuff.

Would you like to come to my MA show? Here is an invitation - come and see it all in the flesh if you can!

And for all my lovely friends further afield don’t you worry, next week I’ll be sharing as much as I can with you online.
