All Framed up & Ready to Go
My migration panels onto vintage maps are now back from the framers and looking good. Its always hard to tell how successful a piece of work is when its been right under your nose for a while, so its good to get things out of the studio for a while and see them with a fresh eye again.
The finished installation will consist of these two panels on a left hand wall as you enter the hide, and then the four pieces made from vintage luggage (see last post) on a longer wall around the corner, fixed opposite the viewing slots that look out over the lake - echoing the openings in the hide wall and offering another viewing experience.
I’ll add some photos of it all together once I’ve installed it all on Wed/Thurs. Its been a long and challenging process but a really interesting and enjoyable one too, from site visits, to research and reading, meeting staff, working with local children, sourcing the right pieces from junk-shops and online and then bringing it all together in a way that I hope speaks of journeys in time and across continents.

Great to see the finished artwork, looking forward to seeing it installed in the bird hides. We are hoping to bring some children along to the launch next week. So it will be interesting to hear their reactions and comments about the artwork, especially as there seem to be some parallels with their interests around collecting in boxes and bags and exploring their own and pre-drawn maps during the project.

Thanks Gemma, will be good to see you again. I’m going to try and make the artwork as accessible as possible in terms of the high its mounted at. Look forward to getting their feedback!
