When I arrived in college today, I instantly turned the projector on to ensure the projected drawing had remained the same as when I left yesterday. I made some minor alterations to some pieces on the projector, but other than that I am really pleased with the outcome.
Yesterday I left college with a dilemma in mind of viewers within the exhibition being able to see the sculpture before the projection or at the same time, but I purely want the projection to be seen first. Therefore I managed to get hold of some more of the translucent material I had been using. This time I used a longer roll to ensure the sheet would reach the floor. I also slightly bent the overhanging metal pole, increasing the height of the translucent sheet. Taking a step back I realised that not being able to see any of the installation behind the material worked really effectively.
What viewers will see as they enter through the doorway.
I am really pleased with this final outcome, and seeing the installation like this gives me a great sense of achievement. I have created a installation/sculpture/projection/drawing with a strong link to a site of construction.
Theres always time for one last touch. To hold the extractor tube more firmly in place I added a spiralling wire to the side of it, attaching with wire. This also adds to essence of a working construction site in the projection as it adds an element of movement to the piece.
All that is left to do now in terms of the exhibited piece, is to double-check everything abides by health and safety regulations. I will attach the electrical wire to the corner of the wall behind using tape to ensure it does not become a hazard or it does not become a distraction to the work. I will also tape any sharp areas of the installation that may be a potential danger. Areas that come to mind are the scrap metal that holds the translucent sheet and the edges on the structure holding the projector.
