I have waited six months to return to the installation I started during Practice One and Semester B. I turned the work into maquettes to develop the project during lockdown. I had the opportunity to return to this work on a larger scale on September 23rd and wasted no time in realising some of the ideas that had been burning my mind and hands off to actually physically make. I spoke to both visiting lecturers, Michael Petry and Joanna Hyslop about how I would develop this work which was originally a series of proposals. I decided to start by using the space as a drawing board and use the space as both installation and drawing space.
The image gallery below show the original installation made in black tape which had to be abandoned during the lockdown. I put paper over the right hand side of the piece to develop this further in Lines and Cells 2020 Part Three.
At this point of having drawn most of the tape I wanted to, I decided to try a drawing on paper intervention and then have this drawing leaning out from the installation. I had tried this in my proposal work for Practice One. See below.
I then took this intervention away and started to use the fabric tape to bring the installation into the third dimension.

I then went on to deconstruct and erase parts of the installation. I filmed all of this but here are the highlights. By erasing parts I found the dynamics changed again and I regained some of the visual disturbance that had occurred before. I will remember this for the next iteration of the project.
Next steps are to fully publish all the extensive documentation of this piece and take the time to make the different iterations of it distinct from one another so that I can spend time looking at the material and reworking parts. I feel the different stages has important instances happening in them. As there is so much material I have only included a very edited version. Some of the large scale drawings I took from the work have been made into new work for the next WIP.
