A few more photos of the exhibition.

There was much discussion about the coal and brick dust patterns Kerri stenciled onto the floor, the bricks and dust patterns were the center piece of the exhibition and worked really well.

Showing two complementary projections generated a sense of alienation and mystery.

Some pics of my bricks! at venue and back on site and some pics of our final work.. We put everything up in stages depending on what was ready and what time we had. It was quite nerve racking as we hadn't really seen everything together until a couple of days before the show. It was good when we finally got in the space with everything and were able to see what fitted where. Some pieces really evolved around the space such as my dust patterns and bricks. Julie recommended that i displayed them on an old table she had this looked great, there were two draws which became an integral part of the piece when dan suggested putting dust patterns in them. I thought this was a great idea it allowed me to use brick dust with PVA onto paper which made the work permanent and also made the work follow through to the patterns on the floor. I decided coal dust was better for the floor as it was safer and black stood out a lot better than brick dust or ash. It also ties in with the train yard and the industrial revolution. A last minute adjustment was adding children's handprints in ash, i wanted something that represented the child workers and this seemed appropriate. Paul bought in some interesting objects from home a beautiful rusty metal box and some choice branches and found netting made a great disguise for the projector and really felt like part of the exhibit. Julie made a great job of linking past with present getting hold of building site warning signs and having her glowing wax builders hat casts dotted around gave it the link to present day. Charlottes film was a real success to edited down to the strongest imagery it looked great on the night and got lots of compliments. We got some really positive feedback from the people who saw it they could see the links and seemed to really enjoy the event. We put on wine and nibbles and had a signing in health and safety sheet instead of a guest comment book, although we stopped making people sign in about 8ish by the look of it! We also did last minute artists statements as we felt the work was stronger when put into context... What a few days guys really good experience, very intense! But we did it well done everyone...
