Preparing my Art Installation for London

I’m thrilled that EMERGE (my MA final show art installation) has been selected for Chaiya Art Awards 2023 exhibition ‘Awe and Wonder’ at Oxo Tower Wharf Gallery London, 7-16 April 2023.
Thankfully I started making plans for this before my place had been confirmed, so had been able to go into my storage and do an inventory of the various elements that make up my installation - BEFORE I broke my wrist.

So I have working for a while on adjusting and improving parts to make sure I can show it at it’s very best in this prestigious venue. I’ve been in dialogue with the incredibly helpful curator of the show about my allocated space as there is a lot to think about when showing such a large scale piece of art in a new setting. I’m excited that I have been given a whole room to myself and this week I did a site visit with my fabulous installer technician friend Paul, to make measurements and make sure I prepare well. Here is a sneak peep of the place I will be exhibiting in.

And here are some photos of the preparations underway - from sewing covers for gigantic fluffy beachballs, to creating a 3D mockup of the room, measuring lengths of rope and reshaping elements damaged in storage.

Here is a link to the website with more details about the show. I will of course share the official promotional material once I have it: https://chaiyaartawards.co.uk/
