Although my live performance is the main piece for the "Lost Property' show I spent a few hours today hanging some additional work in my studio space. Having painted all the walls a perfect gallery white I went on to mess them up again by hanging my oil ridden, ash covered work on them. Simple hanging techniques where used but it came together nicely. Using small nails I chose to display the drawings and every tool/implement used in their making. Crystalized tins, crystalized paint brushes, hand-made marking tools, a piece of hessian with a transfered "Neo-liberalism logo" and test tubes containing the tears. The layout gave an almost "museum exhibit" feel. The viewer may feel as if they where looking at some priceless ancient crafting tools. I also chose to display a piece of writing which i did, it is written from the point of view of the hessian sack which masks my own head. This creative writing adds another dimension to the work as a whole. This small exhibition and my live performance will successfully work hand-in-hand.
