Thanks to my brother, Gylen, I have the final dimensions for the first of the installations. Again I am reminded how lucky I am to be surrounded by useful, awesome people! Unfortunately there isn’t enough fabric for two installations large enough to have any sound buffering effect. So I’ll start with the round based pyramid one as that was the main problem area in the café and visually it is much more interesting.
Monday, first day of printing at Superclub.
I printed a few things, here are the photos. I don’t really have the words to explain how effing fantastic it was to be working in my own space. Effing fantastic and just a little scary (especially when the meter ran out and all the lights turned off).
I have tubs with lids. Thanks Mum!

I tried out a few colours for the installation, and combinations of passes and strengths of pigment. Yesterday I also tried out pva, to see if that would add an extra plasticity to the texture. It didn’t make any noticeable difference and I had to put more pigment in to get the same strength of colour, so it’s out.

pva samples
I cut out one pyramid and printed it with the salmon/rust red colour.
I’ll sew it up today and see what’s next.
