No, not the kind where you need tap dancing shoes and lots of make up, but last week was all about getting ready for the MA Show at MMU.
When I saw these tables in the cafe area of the Holden Gallery at MMU..
... I really wanted the opportunity to use them for the MA show. Responding to a buidling or a place, rather than just locating a ready made piece in the exhibtion, seemed like a really good opportunity and one I didn't want to miss out on.
So I managed to get hold of some old encyclopedias that just happened to be the right size and got on with some serious book demolition.

ReplyDeleteWell done Fiona, it looks lovely. I am sooo sorry I was not able to make it to the show. I had planned to go on Wednesday but called into work unexpectedly. I hope it went well for you and look forward to seeing what you do next. Congratulations on completing the MA!
