My choice of hanging (how somethings just happen)


Sitting in my studio space discussing my work with Rory, I brought up the question of how might I hang my work, I had always been wary of placing my work behind a frame. I even placed place my piece Blanche within a frame but for me it did not infer the right representation to mirror that of the material used and the subject matter. Looking at Blanche, which I had unconsciously hung on bulldog clip but entrapped a small piece of paper between that and the bulldog clip just to protect the paper. Rory straight away questioned why I had done such, was it deliberate. It wasn’t the insignificance of the paper between the bulldog clip now raised such a highlighting feature that I had not previously engaged with. But unconsciously I had consciously presented this piece in such a way it too created a cocoon of delicacy and protection of this fragile subject and material.
