Photos from exhibition..

Hour glass table.

Crystal table.Inflatable table.

Soap table.

Here are the four tables I included in the exhibition as part of my piece The Change Allowance Project.  The two other tables I included on a digital photo frame due to the nature of their deconstruction.

I will keep taking photos during the week as the tables start to build or dissolve.  It should be interesting to see how the soap table lasts especially as the temperatures are pretty high at the moment.  I am still not sure if it will stand the whole week or not making my daily visits to the show one of excitement and nerves as to what I will see. I am also working on nurturing the crystals up the legs of the last table and if possible encouraging them to grow on the table top itself.  I will pour another coating of the crystal mixture tomorrow night so during the week the table should keep on evolving.

Installing..

Well this week has been busy preparing the exhibition space in Oxford Brookes Richard Hamilton building.  Yesterday I finally started piecing together the parts that will become The Change Allowance Project, it is now that I am having to think on my feet as different problems within the space and the materials arise.

I am probably going to work through the weekend and bank holiday to make sure this week is all about fine tuning the presentation and timing of the four tables.  With this work being about construction and deconstruction there is always an element that I cannot control and I really have to realise how certain elements are what they are due to the nature of change not always being something that can be controlled.  There is also an element that the deconstruction elements may happen faster than predicted as the tests have only been on smaller scale.  This is what will hopefully make the installation tick and evolve over the period of the exhibition.
