Tutorial

This morning I had a tutorial with Jamie because I was worried about how my installation was going to look. We talked about different ideas and I mentioned the installation I saw at Howarth Art Gallery. He liked the idea and asked me to draw out a plan of the idea I had inspired by the installation. (insert picture of plan)
An idea immediately came to mind when he looked at the plan I drew and he showed me some boards he had that we could make a square 'box' structure out of- still keeping the idea of using cellophane. Unfortunately, the boards in that position blocked the walk-way next to where we were building the structure, so we had to decide on a different shape. Slanting the boards to make a triangle shape made more room to walk around the installation and made the shape more interesting. (Unfortunately, I didn't take any photo's whilst putting together the boards as it was all very hectic!)

I was quite skeptical about the structure when it was built because it was so far from what I had planned on making. I was also worried about how I could project my film inside the structure, but after a brief discussion with Jamie, we indefinitely decided on putting the projector somewhere inside and then projecting it onto cellophane somehow. I also wanted to keep my idea of using light, and was thinking of either hanging light-bulbs from the roof of the structure or just attach the bulb to the roof.
