The placement of the storage box next to
the plinth allows access to a platform to display sketchbooks. Folders and maquettes.
Sketchbooks& folders
· Idea sketchbook
· Experimentation and development sketchbook
· Construction sketchbook
· Research folder
· Alzheimer Scotland folder
All the sketchbooks and folders were stored within the storage box. Construction sketchbook updated with recent exhibition presentation.
Plinth
The plinth display of business cards and
Dementia information leaflets with foam mount information notice inviting the public
to take a copy. A comments book has been
placed on the plinth.
Foam
mounted Titles
As the titles were detracting from the exhibition
work I included a single title information notice with a separate artist
statement. Two smaller information
notices placed under Embroidery tapestry and Sound Stories.
During tutor assessment a copy of the
Statement of Assessment and the experimentation and development sketchbook
remain on the plinth with the storage box open to access the remaining course
portfolio.
Feelings
As I had anticipated that additional
support would be required with the exhibition presentation I had asked and
received help from a family member and technician. A very big thank you for their kind
support.
Evaluation
A very
tiring and exhausting time that has only been achieved with the kind assistance
of others. The exhibition presentation has been achieved with great
success. As I have received many
positive comments about the resolved artworks and the layout presentation.
Analysis
Each stage of the exhibition preparation
required time planning. Ensuring the wall was prepared and painted and
ready for the next stage. The technician
kindly mounted wall brackets and float mount. Suspension of fishing line with
corner anchor of board mount and carriage paper with sewing needle. The suspension of 3 dimensional folded memory
books onto small plinth gave a secure placement.
Conclusion
A successful exhibition presentation was
confirmed by the positive feedback within the comment book and conversations
with members of the public. I have also received and accepted a financial offer
for the Layers of Self.
Action Plan
The examiners are coming into the college
to view all the BAD3 work. Each student
has been an allocated time.
