like for like day 1

Day 1 went really well. I had guessed right in timing for today's schedule. If i had been granted acces yesterday i would have been able to get the surveying and the card sorting done ahead of time. With that delay we spent the first half of today taping off the install area and separating the corrugated cardboard tiles into their different hues. The separation of hues is for the replication of a pictorial reference from an older newspaper advertisement. That being graph one to follow is then complicated by a graph number two where my assistants and i were to install a padding layer giving the piece a more prevalent three dimensional aspect. Charles, Steve and most of all Ben were a huge help.The piece developed smoothly. I am at about the halfway mark for the initial install. the piece after this will develope further towards the 2nd graph adn then will develop further into distribution hubs, cityscapes, a macrocosm of consumerism mapping the microcosm levels of exchange( that can/are mirrored in the macrocosm). Tomorrow morning first thing will be to address the fulfillment of the intial installation. We were unable to have film documentation of today's events, but hope this will be sorted out tomorrow. Lots of photo documentation was acheived with our project photographer out of town on personal business. We wish her all the best on her travels and hope conchetta had a great birthday celebration in spite of the conditions for her return trip to the states. I was thinking that another approach to such a piec may be....... what if i didn't adhere so strictly to an image initially? I could have had a picture to reference, but created on the spot as if i were drawing it. Only using other people as an extension of myself in the application of tiles of course. 9 meters by 20 meters isa a large piece. I feel as confident in the execution in this piece as i do with smaller works acheiveed in the past. As commented on today, i t seems totally at home for me to work at this larger scale. This installation iss great practice for the upcoming degree show. For all of you that helped today it was much appreciated.
cheeeeeeerrrssss!
