Final piece pt 2

This is better - full set up pending

Final piece - pt 1

The paperclips aren't very visible

- I don't like that the wooden props are visible

Panels - first attempt.

Cardboard warping mishap


It was defintiely a bad choice to opt for this material, even if it was for monetary reasons. I've since swapped the cardboard for ply wood, which is far sturdier, won't warp, and looks more clean and nice.

Due to issues uploading my performance video to this source I have uploaded it onto Youtube instead. The link is included for a more high definition source [x]

This is an unedited video and includes background noise from the studio and some shaking at the end. I'm still unsure as to whether this should have audio edited over the top? I think it would have been nice if the sounds of the pins sliding in place had been loud enough for the camera to pick up.

I researched this artist and collected the images pre final project and when I did I think I was more interested in the lighting and the arrangement of the various elements and how that could help me decide how to put together a final artwork. I think the way the boards are propped up is of far more interest to me now that I'm faced with how exactly I want to install my work

Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo, Non-Sign II, 2009-10

'We began by studying the vernacular landscape of highway signage surrounding the site and other nearby influences such as the Peace Arch Monument which was created to celebrate the Treaty of Gent. The structure acts as a type of portal between nations and was built early last century. We decided early on not to attempt to address any international political issues directly given the loaded nature of the site and anxiety surrounding all things visa and immigration. Instead we choose to study  the nature of commercial trade across borders, advertising and highway auto-based culture. Employing the same habituation that billboards use to draw attention away from the landscape, we turned the effectiveness of the rectangular framing device against itself to refocus attention back toward the atmosphere and potency of the landscape shared across borders. Rather than build a billboard outright, we employed a technique to approximate with pencil strokes the atmosphere around a solid object. In doing so we could concentrate attention on the absence more than the presence. This also has the effect of appearing at the edge of perception and creates both a barrier and an aperture simultaneously – which mirrors the prime border crossing experience.'

Can you explain how the concept developed into the ‘billboard’ that we see today?, Interview with Alison Copley

research related to my paperclip forms, looking at accumulation, density, shape (alluding to shadows, negative space, etc.) 
- this one reminds me of a swarm in a way. A swarm of bees in old cartoons would often form shapes to give them expression

- accumulating ideas - ways to install work



these could be made out of wood or metal - have to be careful, consider the weight of whatever object is at the top



stand in foreground could support an object along the length of it, suspended in the middle or at the top
