This week a did a lot of preparing for a trial installation.

Tuesday: 2.5 hours - worked on sketches, organizing materials

Wednesday: 4 hrs - Around noon, I visited the off-site location and took photographs and met with the exhibitions manager. That night my group worked on our Off-Site grant proposal.

Thursday: 7 hrs studio&class day - Playing with my image. I did a lot of sketching to get me back in drawing shape. Figuring out what what materials I need to buy from Fingerle.

Friday: 3 hrs - buying wood at Fingerle and foam board at Michaels. Put up furring strips.

Sunday: 5 hours. Cut foam into segments. Transferred small drawings from model onto larger foam segments. Started installing, still need to finish.


Here are some images of my process in setting up the charcoal installation:

I used a grid made of triangles to transfer the proportions of the smaller image to the life-size segments. I eye-balled it but it worked out pretty nicely. I used vine charcoal.


Here are some of the individual segments.



My attempt of installing the image. I still need to hang 7 more. I'm going to try to get a tall human to help me.
