Final Piece: Day 3
Have been working on hanging the prints in the cube gallery space for a few days now and wanted an update of how things are coming together.
I started by hanging the prints in the space as they were, (around 16" wide), but the width became awkward to work with when more were added into the space, not to mention the fact that the paper curled inwards quite a bit. When cut thinner, they curled less and interacted better with the other prints, so I followed suit in cutting the paper into less wide strips from then on.
Next problem was tackling the length of the space - I could stick the prints together with double sided tape, leaving a slight overlap in colour on the taped area, or I could try looping the pages with jump rings. I tried jump rings, but with some help and guidance I concluded it would be far too difficult to use jump rings (they were lovely rings though).
PLUS, the paper could be hung in two ways from the net - using jump rings and using box clips. Again, this lead to the conclusion that whilst jump rings were prettier and more subtle, it would take far too long to hang everything and would be tedious. The paper also was more likely to rip and fall down if tugged from below.
To make each print into a long, thin strip, I cut it into 3 or 4 lengthways and stuck it together with tape. This meant I could have strips of the same colour and design going down.
Here's some photos:
