Inspiration- Yayoi Kusama

Kusama has been a HUGE influence throughout the process of creating my work.  She is not only able to create an environment with which people are familar and place her own stamp on it but she is able to keep her audience engaged.

Kusama has currently got an exhibition of her own showing a range of her inspirational work at Tate Modern.  If you get the opportunity to go and see this artists work then do! You will not be dissapointed.

Vouchers

I recieved an email today letting me know that my vouchers have been printed and are now ready to be collected! Everything seems to be coming together nicely.

I am just waiting on the arrival of my business cards and stamp and then to get my banner printed!

Cath's talk was very eye opening today. Those of you who didnt come missed out!

Progress with preparation


Progress is now well on the way with the installation. As you can see from the image below the windows are currently being blacked out ready for the lighting to be sorted and some boards have been sortedready to put up.

Boards startting to be put up

The image above shows some of the boards that have been put up earlier today.  A great start! The excitement/ nerves are kicking in!

Lighting for the Installation

I bumped into Richard today who told me that all is going well with the plans for the lighting with my piece.  I am meeting up with him on Thursday once the rest of my boards have been put in place.  This will then make it easier to arrange where the lights should go and we can also test how the look within the space.

Sketchbook work

I am currently up to date with my sketchbook work.  It is now just a case of adding a few bits here and there as my installation progresses.
