Project completion (on schedule!)

Went into Bournville yesterday to hang my pieces - this went really well.  I slung the fishing line over the beam then attached it to each end of the dowel.  While I climbed up the ladder to secure the first side a level 4 student held the piece then we levelled it up and I secured it to the other end.  It went up much quicker and easier than I thought.

My piece contrasts a horizontal movement across the topography of the street with a vertical descent through its past.  I wanted to portray this vertical descent through a series of images layered like an archaeological dig. 

• The first layer is a plan view of part of the streetscape. 
• The second is a series of photographs of detail found within the street – some recognisable and others rather more emphemeral (like memories)
• The final layer represents thoughts and memory just beyond our grasp. 

In contrast the three monoprints on the wall are fleeting recall which are fixed in time by being formally encapsulated.
