This is it, my final installation. I'm happy with how it looks and how everything ties together. The folds of the fabric ties in with the folds and crumples of the paper, the frayed string ties in with the frayed edges of the fabrics and the fuzzy lines in the imagery. I also don't mind that the string doesn't hang vertically because the polymers themselves are not perfect rectangles. It also plays with the idea of a funnel with the fabric pouring out, it adds to the idea of how gravity pulls things down. I considered painting the wood but I thought it would feel strange, like it was part of the wall, also I haven't messed with the nature of the other materials. It was suggested that I put a crossbar between the wood, creating a frame. I could see how this would work in a different space but I don't think it would work with this one, it would cut my image in half for it to work I think it needed to be above all the works. I wrapped the ends of the wood in twine to tie in with the wrapping of the fabric. The work feels very peaceful but explorative which is an interesting combination but I like it and I love the natural colour scheme and raw materials used. There is a movement as well which I find captivating.

Thoughts I have been thinking
So I thought as I install my art I would write down some of the thoughts I've had during this brief. Initially my thoughts were on the subject matter itself, trees. I was interested in the exhaustion of centuries old trees and all that they havd seen and lived through juxtaposed with young exuberant trees filled with life. However, as time went on that idea got put on the backburner as I began exploring exhaustion by overworking the images. I printed them on acetate, scratching, rubbing and spray painting them before turning them into photo polymer plates that I printed. I was interested in crumpling the images which is an exhausting idea but which created little pockets of interest in the photos, whilst also further working the photos. I also played around with the fabric because it billowed in the breeze. It kind of linked back to leaves and trees but also watching it was quite relaxing and tiring. I tried hanging it infront of other works so you would have to try to see through it which I thought might be exhausting but it didn't work out. I went back to the idea of overworking the images in the big scrunched works. I took close up photos of the folded photo polymers, blew them up and then crumpled them again (as well as printing it onto fabric). Come to installation I have found I have been thinking a lot about gravity and texture. Gravity is one of the heaviest things we carry and thinking about it, it's sort of like holding up the sky. It also pulls things down. I wanted to show through the fabric how it is constantly pulling us down now matter how hard you fight it. The soft draping of the fabric will also contrast nicely to the sharp hard folds of the paper. I have tried to use tired materials, fraying calico, crumpled paper, draping fabric as well within the brief because it adds to the idea of the images.

These are some other installations I have been experimenting with. I think the last one is my favourite so far, I like how the photo polymer is above the wall and how they sink into/rise from the fabric. It follows thw idea of gravity that is seen in the draping fabric that is pooling on the floor. The juxtaposition of scrunched paper, with the sharp lines and folds, with the soft drapes and folds of the fabric is really lovely. I'm hoping to hang the fabric in front of the wall to create some depth.

I've been trying some different layouts and installations, experimenting with layering the fabric and hanging it in front of things. I'm not too sure how I will install it yet, it depends on where my wall will be but I do like how the fabric drapes and pools on the floor so I would like to incorporate that somehow.

I have taken the photograph of the pressed polymer and turned it into a screen printing screen. I have then screen printed the image onto wispy fabric, much like the polymers I did earlier on the white floaty fabric. I have done two of these and will see how they work together in the space.

I have taken photos of the photo polymers that I crushed through the press and printed them really large before scrunching them up and stepping on them. They are 3D, casting a shadow on the wall which I really like. I love the depth of the images, now both physically as well as in the imagery. The large scale works really well. They photograph beautifully so I don't know whether or not to display the printed photos or the actual scrunched papers which are not the best quality of paper.

This is another crushed one I did but rather than leaving it crumpled I pulled it out. It's interesting to look at but for me doesn't feel exhausted, it feels industrial and hard. I prefer the vulnerability of the crumpled paper.

I decided to try and stretch the fabric, perhaps put something behind? It would look really good on a large scale but right now it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. I think I'm liking the prints more in black and white rather than adding colour at the moment.

I printed one of the photos in a redish brown ink to see how it would look behind the long series. As you can see in the last photo, you couldn't see the rusty print. It looked okay in front of the paper prints and against black but it didn't look or feel right.

Artist Research - Elena Damiani
I have been trying to find artists that work with silks or fabrics and found Eleanor Damiani. Her works are really amazing and I find it very intriguing how she uses colour in the background to make parts of her image fade. I also like how she uses framing for her works and I am now considering whether or not I want to do the same. Her works have a stillness that makes you stop and think. Her use of colour is lovely against the black, sometimes the colour gets lost, other times it is brought out it's opened up a whole lot of ideas for me.

I did the prints as a series across sheer fabric. I like how you have to try and see through it to what is behind.
It gives my works a depth and it's both exhausting and exuberant trying to see what is behind the fabric.

This is a polymer that I printed onto crushed paper. My original plan was to print on it then flatten it out so there were shards of image scattered across the page. However, I really liked the 3D aspect it gave the image so I am keeping it like this. I like how it lifts away to show a white blank like a shadow.

I did this painting in studio yesterday. It felt surprisingly quick doing it although I'm sure it actually took a while. Initially I felt it was a bit too busy when I stopped so I went back and created some areas of space to contrast the chaotic parts.

This is another large painting that I have done. I did it quickly and to music (which I never do) and it made doing the painting feel exciting.
