Here are my woodcut on silk Tasmanian devil pelts, set up and ready for assessment. I’ve laid them out on the floor, between some other works I’ve set up. The other works are on the plinths at the top and left-hand-side of the photo, so if you wanted to get close to those works, you would either have to carefully step around the work on the floor or step around it. It will be interesting to see if any of my assessors will be game to step on it – I wasn’t when I was setting it up!
The silk that this work is printed on is quite smooth and sheeny. I scrunched the pieces up a bit at home before I went to the studio to install them to give them a bit of texture and make them look more like the remnants of a dead animal. Unfortunately, when I was laying them out I noticed that they had smoothed themselves out again. Even the ones that I had scrunched up a few days previously were looking pretty smooth. Hopefully, being installed on the not-terribly-clean floor will add to the grunginess of the work.
