Construction
I have started to build my final piece, i had originally planed to make a wide four by four foot sculpture that was flat but through the use of suspending it above peoples heads it would not appear flat. When  started to put it together i realised that doing anything larger than a foot was not possible, i could not manipulate it enough for my liking. I could not make the shapes the way i had planned, falling out of the net. I also realised how much foam the idea i had would take. This is when i thought about packing out the sculpture so the inside would be filled with paper or plastic balloons. I immediately rejected the idea of balloons due to the disaster of my last show at the church. I think i need to explore ways of filling out the sculpture so that i can make it to the size i want. 

I also reconsidered the shape of my sculpture quite quickly because of the way i was having to build it up. This is when i came up with a shape that i think is going to look more effective and have a greater impact on the audience. i want to create a shape that is roundish, it will then taper down in the centre, like a drop of water about to fall. I think this will give it greater form, it will allow the sculpture to be close to people at one point and yet expand out in another. I think i am going to make the structure hollow to achieve this and create it in parts and then combine them. I am really excited about the shape of my sculpture now. I am starting to be able to imagine it, it is uncanny and sublime and ephemeral and temporary, it brings together all the work i have been doing. It is now Saturday night, i am installing on Tuesday. This leaves me two days to get the main structure of the sculpture done. I am going to add the finishing touches on Tuesday and Wednesday, fill in any gaps and sort out how i am going to suspend it so it is even. 

One problem with this new shape to my work is the height. I had originally planned for it to hang only a meter from the beam, now i am not even sure how low it will hang. I do not however think it will matter to much to my work, i think it will add something if people have to duck below it and move around it. It would also mean people would be able to touch my work, something which was important to me at the start of the project. I will have to talk to Matias about this as it might be a health and safety thing with the height. I also need to looking to people helping me suspend it as i have not had ladder training and so am going to need someone who has to help me hand it from the bar. 

I forget to say where my final piece is going, i have been allotted a space along the central support beam. It runs the length on the corridor. I am at the part near the entrance. I am really pleased with where my sculpture is going, it will mean as people come in they will see it, it will allow them to pass underneath it as they walk through the exhibition.
