Finishing with the strings

The main task today was to finish stringing the piece together by attaching the strings from the painting and guitar [six from each nail to represent the strings of the guitar] to the clothes. We put six nails, all at different heights on the clothing sculpture and then tied each of the strings of the painting to them to create a web of string.








As a group we are very pleased with the final outcome of our project. The next step for tomorrow is looking into sound and lighting. We are going to experiment with a Dictaphone and attempt to record someone tuning a guitar. We discussed lighting and thought that the idea of candles would fit the project and theme perfectly. However there are matters of Health and Safety to think about which may mean that we'll have to temporarily have candles for photographic "wish" purposes and compromise by just having a spotlight. Over all we think that lighting will help bring our piece to life as we imagine the shadows created by the strings would look very effective.
