One thing we noticed yesterday when invigilating our exhibition, was the huge difference that the time of day made to an exhibition space. In the evening, it is a gallery and people will walk in without any hesitation. In the daytime though, the space becomes a ‘shop’ and they begin to fear crossing over the threshold in case they have to buy something.
They stood glaring through the window at my houses, ooing and arring and taking lots of photos, but when we gestured for them to come in, they walked away.
We did entice quite a lot in though and if I could have £1 for every photo that was taken of my work, I could probably have a month off!
Today, we’ve decided to take a break. We’ve left the lights on so that all viewings can be done safely from the window!
