like for like Day 2

Wow....today was a little more exhausting. being short two in the labour dept. in conjunction with my tiredness from the previous days workout. Ben and charles were on again today and we also got help from Zeynep. Ben was filming adn Zeynep took lots of photos for me. I have asked a few others to help me in the documentation process b/c i cannot see it all. i think to get an appropriate archive of photo documentation that i need a few more eyes than just mine. We all were diligent workers. i made a few important decisions concerning the display of the piece versus the original plan. I also made a few changes in the aesthetics of the piece given the limited nature of corrugated card available to me at this time. For the pictorial plane of the installation, a pinnacle moment in its presentation, the tape aesthetic i discuss in an earlier paper that i will post here was installed. Certain hues of card are used to create an image in the mapping of the piece. In reference to one section of the map i had to adjust an area to use packaging tape to help in the colouring so that the piece will continue to work in a positive way. After this first goal is acheived the work will evolve in an epic manner. Negative spaces will be carved through areas and new designs will emerge. card will get shifted, sifted, stacked, and moved around the arena. from opposite corners.... or from teh same quadrants.The first goa; will be completed by 1 tomorrow. then the next phase will begin at 2. an hour break will be taken to document and reflect on the piece at this stage. thanks for all those who helped today.
now off to give to charity and support the randan discotheque at the johnny cash tribute night.
