Square Eyes Syndrome

My eyes are going square from all my time being spent looking at this computer screen at the moment!

The main chunk of my efforts being focused on getting everything ready for the exhibition at Burton Town Hall on the 18th June. It's only a few weeks away now and me being my usual self has set myself the challenge of displaying work in a way I would never normally do so.

There are a lot of photographs involved, design elements and the layout it paramount. It needs to be perfect. It's getting there but there is something just not right and I can't see what it is yet. I'm the sort of person who likes to know every little detail and what i've got to work with, however i have very little way of knowing what exhibition space i have to work too. And there is always that voice in your head when you do something a bit different that says "Is it just me that thinks this is a good idea?" No one is around until next week to see it and I'm planning to take it to print on Wednesday.

The piece I'm working on is looking to be a 3m x 1m possible 1.5m print. I'm trying to encompass as much of the St. George's Project into it as possible, making it visually interesting while at the same time somehow tying all the different strands of the project together. Going through photographs, interviews and audio clips over the last week I could have filled the town hall - if only I had the budget! Trying to cram it into 3 meters is harder than it may seem.

Taking a break from getting the exhibition piece ready I'm attempting to work on a few photofilms, something I've not really tackled fully yet. I'm confident all will come good in the end, it always does. I see many more late nights and square eyes in my future.
