Ceramic Vulva: Prep for Show

TODAY: John finished putting up the shelves for me. Spoke with Charles who felt there was a problem with the pegs. He felt they took too much attention, spoke about the male/female fittings and how they read to him. On reflection I realised what he meant. Decided to sand them down, round the ends and stain them same colour as the MDF. They looked much better. John screwed the back boards to the walls and later Charles helped me to peg the muslin in place. They look really good.
I unloaded the rest of the pieces, which had been carefully wrapped and stored in the ceramics room. Started to put them around the shelves.
Charles spoke with me about how to arrange them in relation to each other rather than following my process of making. I tried to do this and I think I made progress but I was getting tired so decided to leave it for the day and see what it looks like to tomorrow.

This is the view as you come into the space, then if you look to the right. If you walk into the right hand space you will see the other two muslin pieces handing on the wall to your left.
(Forgot to photo the other, hidden wall which is round on the left hand side.)

WEDNESDAY: There was some consideration about whether or not the muslin should go straight on the wall but I wasn't sure about this. Spoke to Charles who pointed out that if there were not mounted on the same wood as the shelves it would look as if the shelves had just been put there rather than an instalation choice.
Zak came in to help mount the muslin pieces, much careful handling was needed!!! We had decided to screw wood blocks on the back via counter-sunk screws from the front so we needed to make sure the screws would not show. Then holes were drilled for the pegs to go through the MDF into the pine. This way of mounting will create a space from the wall so they will look as if they are floating. It took most of the afternoon and into the evening but they looked so good.
