I'm feeling a bit de-mob happy today. My exhibition at Farfield Mill is
on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. I'm really pleased with how it
looks - obviously you are entitled to your own opinion. And so after several
very intense months, the pressure is off slightly and I'm going to have a day
or two off and relax. Bliss!

It is a
lovely feeling seeing the work at Farfield as it is a beautiful, well lit large
space and I was able to place the figures where I wanted - no restrictions due
to where the lines could be tied off. The figures have space to breathe,
but still have a 'conversation' with each other. I had fun yesterday
taking photos of them through the middles of other ones.

Sara, the centre
manager, was a fabulous help at hanging the work. Bizarrely, it was where
to put the wall pieces that caused more issues than the figures. I think
this is because they have been made over a period and so keep developing,
whereas the figures, even though there are three new ones, have stayed pretty
static in concept.

I made a
short, unpolished video on my phone, so you could get a feel for the
exhibition, but I shot it vertically and when I try to load it onto the blog, it is showing sideways... I tried making some videos on my expensive camera with a
tripod, but they haven't worked - the movement is too jerky.
Another skill to work at when I have a moment!

The
exhibition is up until 10 May, so there is plenty of time to see it and there
are another two special exhibitions on at the same time. I'm also running
a workshop at Farfield on 10 May and there are still some places available if
you are interested.

I love this display and wish I could walk through it; join in the "conversation".
Love the reflections in the last photo.

Thank you
Thanks Sandy. The mirrors are beautiful. I'm so glad they were able to leave them there.
It looks as though your exhibit fills the space perfectly, is beautifully hung and well lit. Wish I could see it in person! You definitely deserve a day off! :-)
Thanks Margaret. Looking forward to my full day off on Sunday! It is a lovely gallery. Maybe one to add to your list when you finally visit the UK?
It looks fabulous. I still remember that feeling I had while walking through your hanging pieces at FOQ.
Thanks Maggi. They still have the same feeling but more spead out and are interacting with the work on the walls. Very happy!
