The small gun works arrived! We were very pleased with the cut but we didn’t specify that it shouldn’t go all the way through which means we’ve ended up with a tiny cut out of the gun itself in blue foam. We’ve since had them recut and they look perfect!
Making frames for them was proving difficult; it was far too expensive to get it done exactly how we wanted it or if we got it made less expensively we would have to alter it anyway. Finally, we thought we may as well test trying to make them ourselves; we intend it to be a fairly long series and being able to make them cheaply would be great. It actually went perfectly and we’re really pleased with the result!
The title is Division of Persepctive (The Noisy Cricket). Not sure if we’ve written about the origins of the title before but dividing perspective is a method of showing a 3 dimensional object in 2 dimensional space. This addition of a dimension is exactly what we’re attempting to do with these fictional objects; give them a life beyond the screen, another perspective.
We’ve just put in the other order for the yellow point of view gun so we’ll most likely receive that in the new year and we’ll start on the frame for that. Then it’s only the two paintings to go and we’ll have prepared everything for the Brighton show! Fingers crossed something else materialises after that…
