Window display - The development

The final workshop...

There we a lot of adjustments and additions to make in this session but the group did outstanding work on making this last visualisation as successful as it can be without having ever been in the actual space.

As this space is essentially a room with stairs inside (an encased stairway) we have created the title to hang in the window at the top and items to display in the rest of the space that can viewed from the bottom and of stairs, inside the cafe.

Another visualisations...

Since deciding on techniques and visual aspects of the display we have needed to visualise the space as best as possible, to determine any adjustments that need to be made.

From this set-up we planned  to make more boxes, create pieces to present on the walls, embellish more books and darken some of the lettering to lift the embellishments.

A huge forward...

Experimenting with techniques, colours and materials led to a massive development with our display.

The lettering will be hung from the ceiling in the front window of the display room. Catching the eye of passers by.

The boxes and other items to be made will fill the rest of the room behind the lettering and can be viewed from the bottom of the display room.

Design week...

The group developed designs for the lettering, which after having a base coat of white, will be embellished with moulds and fungi of all different types. We also set out an overall layout for the room the items and lettering will be in.

Contributions...

These beautifully constructed and embellished 'Damp Patches' were designed and made by Maria Walker who has kindly contributed her pieces to the display.

3D lettering...

Never having done 3D lettering before we had to do a few tests, but once we had found an effective and efficient technique the production of the letters was very quick.

Forming the team...

We knew that this task would be one we could share, so workshops were timetabled to design and construct and pieces for the window.

Over the Summer...

Sally and I had already exhibited some pieces in an outdoor exhibition called Art In the Garden in Lymm.

We were keen on getting our work exhibited again and this is when we approached Nexus Art Cafe, Manchester, and offered to create a window display.

These are some sketches of ideas for items and lettering that could be displayed in the window under the theme of ... 'The Aftermath of a Flooded Room'
