My first day at the museum was spent unloading and setting up. As my work is very sculptural I had a lot of stuff with me !! Good thing that I have a huge van.
I worked with the museum team to install the first work which consisted of the cabinet and the poems.
To support my work in the gallery visitors will also be able to see the original items and the packing that stores them. This packaging is where I took the shapes from that for the core basis of my work.
Bret , the head of archeology, helped me organise all the original objects in to three cabinets. These will be a permanent part of my exhibition. A few of the items are not allowed to be out however as they are very fragile. They need to be in a temperature and humidity controlled space to prevent further degradation. In this case we used photos.
