My first job was to paint the second coat onto the cabinet sides, top and bottom. I did this first because logically it would give me enough time to get the finish right and for it to dry.
I have got an extension cord that I have taped to the skirting board down the corridor and rested on the pipes above the space where the monitor will go. The cabinet has been finished and all the objects have been placed inside ready. We did have a few problems getting the perspex into the grooves that Bill had put into the wood but after giving them a go over with a saw, they were slightly deeper for the perspex to fit in.
Another potential problem was getting hold of lighting for inside the cabinet, I nearly managed to get hold of some lighting strips from a previous exhibition but they were missing the chokes and cables needed to plug them in. After fitting the cabinet together I decided to leave it without as it is wide enough and draws some light from the fire exit sign above. Plus any light given off from the monitor will add to it aswell. The other lighting situation is the wall that will have the quotes on, This will probably be from the spotlights that clip on. There is a water pipe directly across that can hold them perfectly.
Finally before I left I talked to my tutors about printing the quotes on to card and then mounting them on the wall. They suggested mountign them on foam and then placing them together.
I now have to mount the monitor and choose the quotes/quote to use and how to print and place it on the wall.
Tomorrow will be another day of hard work which will hopefully be the finishing day. On an unrelated note Im going to watch The Horrors in Manchester which will hopefully leave me with more inspiration and ringing ears all day.
