A video of me removing the string grid from the wall once I had pinned up all my photographs. I was really impatient as I wanted to remove the string as soon as possible, so I had to restrain myself until I had put them all up. The easiest way to remove the string was to pull from one end through in between the images and the other masking tape strip.
A wider shot of the CCTV cameras in the space, where all nineteen cameras can be seen in this photograph.
Final Major Project Exhibition Photographs of all my finished and displayed elements to my exhibition. In the left half of the booth I have my large scale ink painting which is situation on the back wall in the middle. At the left and right hand walls of the piece are sixty pinhole photographs pinned into the wall at the same height as the painting (thirty on each side). Forty-four of the pinholes have black and white illustrations on them of my peers three minute drawings, while the remaining sixteen are plain pinholes I took from around college or other locations in Foundation that weren’t people’s studio space. The right half of the booth contains nineteen paper crafted cctv cameras that are pointing in useless and satirical directions. Overall, I am incredibly happy with my exhibition and I am proud of the variety of work I have been able to present. I feel that my exhibition is a visual representation of my time on the course and how both my style of working and my skill has developed and improved over the year.
I wanted to place my paper cameras in the same location as when I made my mock version. It would have been a good idea to have numbered my photograph and number the corresponding camera at the time, but I didn’t think of that so today I sat with all my cameras in front of me and tried to match them up; a task that took a surprising amount of time. When attaching my cameras to the wall, I can’t say I have the positioning spot on for each camera, but close enough that I am happy with their placement.

All day I have been pinhole photographing the remaining booths and studio spaces of my peers. I also took some new photographs of a handful of peoples booths where I wasn't happy with the first attempt. I now have 44 photographs- a full set- of everyones work spaces. However, I need 60 photos to exhibit, so I need 16 more. I have 16 other pinhole photographs but no drawings to put over the top of them.
Alan suggested photocopying the drawings black and white and displaying a few up for me to see. I prefer these to the coloured versions as they are more subdued. The only issue with this is I have photocopied a photocopy so the quality of the original photograph has decreased each time. I have been able to get various tones and shades from copying the coloured version, which I won't have if I just draw directly onto thew first enlarged photograph as I will only have black and white Posca pens.
I made another grid marking out of thread on the opposite wall and stuck up 14 plain photographs. I am undecided as to which photographs, drawn or plain, to display at exhibition. The drawings convey that freedom of expression, however they look too busy in the space. The plain photographs also convey the same message, but more subtly. I want people to look at the photographs and be able to pick out shapes or recognisable objects from within them, but having the drawings over the top hides the photos. The plain photos also reflect true CCTV camera stills from footage captured, whereas the bright colours of the drawings makes it all lighthearted.
Keeva picked up a can of spray paint for me to spray my cameras. They didn't have standard white in stock, so I settled for the colour marble. I didn't know how well the marble colour (slightly grey) would work with my white walls so I sprayed one of my test cameras half marble an half ancient white (yellowy cream) as an alternative colour. I settled on the marble. Because there is only a subtle difference between the original colour and the new in the daylight, it was hard to determine which areas I had and hadn't sprayed. Therefore I had to wait until it had dried, which thankfully didn't take long, to pick out plain spots. I also sprayed my cameras rested on my drawing board to prevent paint from getting everywhere. This meant I had to coat my cameras in two sides. I only managed to get a few fully done before my spray paint ran out so I will have to purchase more.
I measured out exactly where I wanted my large scale piece to be hung and then Alan and Mark screwed it into the wall. I need to add the outlined CCTV cameras before i can say its finished.
I measured my booth and made a grid using string. The whole process was incredibly tedious. I then displayed them in my booth. I have enlarged each photograph on the printer by 205% so that each photo would be 18 x 25.5 cm and would fit the measurements of the booth. However, some of my photos are slightly smaller than others, which meant that when I stuck them up in my booth there was a variety of sizes, rather than them being unified. As an experiment, I sprayed some masking tape black in strips and had them in between each row of photos. This was predominately to hide the gaps formed by the different sizes of photographs. I drew some white squares in posca pen along two strips to look like a film strip.
I found some black electrical tape so I used that instead of spraying masking tape and added the tape in between the columns of photos. I feel that the black tape is too harsh with the plaster board piece- I watered down a lot of the ink in this piece so it didn't dry pure black, hence why the black of the tape looks too harsh.
I want my pinhole photographs to fill the two boards either side of my big piece, however the size of them makes it unrealistic. Instead, I am having them so that they are at the same height as my large piece so it will all be on the same level.
I matched up everyones studios space pinhole photograph with the three minute drawing they produced for me and recreated them in Posca pen. I laid all of my drawings on the floor of the sports room after cutting them all out. Laid out like this, I like the collection of drawings. I am going to see how these look when displayed in my booth.
I have painted the other side of my exhibition space. Because my Word, Image, Sequence piece fell on the floor during the exhibition it splattered up the walls as well as all over the floor. Because I didn’t clean it up after the exhibition had ended, I have had to scrape it up from the floor. When I say “I have had to” I actually mean Mark. I have weak stick arms and it was taking me forever so Mark took over for me and removed most of it in no time at all. Rather than painting over the marks on the wall repeatedly, I used sandpaper to sand it off the wall first, which worked very well.
I have begun painting my exhibition space (both the walls and the floor). You don't realise how dirty the floor is until you paint it and see the comparison between the the original and the new.
