Logistical issues!

The logistics of getting our sculptures to our exhibition space has not been an easy task. We have found that just in transporting our sculptures to and from the lighting studio they have started to die a little, especially the two cats. This is because we did not build a wooden support structure internally with them as they were the first sculptures we built. We have had to have a last minute re-build of the cats backs.

Luckily we have been using our girlie charm with the blokes in woodwork and have got them to build us some stretchers for transporting the sculptures, one for each. They have hand holes and holes for a rope to thread through holding the pieces in place. Each sculpture will be bubble wrapped and wrapped with cardboard too. Hopefully this should get each piece to the shop unit in a good state.



This is our spot at the exhibition site. we have a plug and we have a dark room with no working lights which is perfect for what we need. I quite hoped that the floor would be a darker colour but I still think our white sculptures will look good in there. We want to light our sculptures partially so that they look as if they're emerging out of the dark subconcious into reality.



We are going to use these spot lights (£1.99 in home bargains) which have a nice soft white light and just have it sat on the floor, wires exposed but taped down so that they are safe.
