The next step to putting up the exhibition was to glue the wood to the back of the images and wait for them to dry..quite easy really!
I was quite afraid that the glue would not hold the weight of the boards but I was assured that they would.
Doing the hanging this way meant that I could use string to hang the images on the wall. This also makes it easier for people who buy the images to re-hang when the get home.
The reason the wood looks so thick on here is because I wanted them to hang level off the wall, with the same distance off the wall all around.
The hardest part (and the reason I got some help!) was measuring and planning out where to hang the images so they looked even.
Paul Hough from ThinkCreative helped out as I had an idea of where I wanted them to go but the actual screwing and marking out is not my forte!
Finally the images were hung onto the marked out screws and we were away in no time!
All this was done the night before the exhibition so there wasn't much to worry about on the day.
I am aware that it looks like I didn't do much but photograph Paul doing the work but I did secure all the 30 fixtures to the back of the images and do the string!
Watch out for tomorrows blog of all the people at the opening and also of some of the work!
