With the Covid restrictions remaining in place (at the time of writing), I decided to create a virtual gallery. Using software I built a simple gallery space to display some of my pictures. I wanted to be able to think about how my work could be displayed and how the pictures and masks would work together. After many iterations, I decided that a simple (less is more) approach would work well. I positioned the pictures so they would explain the narrative. The two heads would face each other across the room and the two large pictures of my mother similarly positioned across from each other. The room in a rectangular square format was one I thought I could create in most galleries using temporary partitions if required. The simplicity of the design also helps with the budgeting and hopefully keep the cost to a minimum. I would expect to have the final book ‘Mother’ for sale at the venue.
Utilising the rear wall would allow me to project images from a ceiling-mounted projector. I have experimented with animating faces with audio and is something I will look further into as the project progresses after my MA. The ability to use a full wall projection would add impact to the visualisation of the exhibition and allow for interaction with the visitors. The size of this exhibition space is, internal partitions 2500mm high and the floor plan measures 7000mm x 6000mm.
