Week 2 in the project space and I’ve got an assembly line for making the resin houses in place. I’ve worked out the problems with the bubbles and learnt not to mix resin in a polystyrene cup (it melts). I can make 20 houses a day, I’ve not worked out if that is enough yet, but I aim to know by the end of this week.
Some practical things to work out this week. How big to make things, how does the projector in the gallery fill the space. Will the time lapse work. What screens can I get for the work from the budget. What can I get from working with a performer. What will my publication look like. What do I want the video screens underneath the houses to do?
I think I’m also at the stage of worrying is the work going to be good enough. It feels like new ground in each piece of work, which is daunting, but I also feel as though I’m not pushing it far enough. In the end I can only make what I make by the opening of the show, still doesn’t help the little demons whirring away in the background though.
