Book & Installation so far...

The installation has been undercoated, and now needs a gloss finish + an extra smaller, flatter ramp-style pyramids to complete the set. If I can figure how to create them, then they will be constructed, if not, I wil be constructing smaller sized pyramids to become over shadowed by the taller ones.

My book so far. It needs to be binded (japanese binded) along side this, another 2 more books need to be made, which will be done during Monday morning & during Tuesday's lesson. 

• Edit of the motion graphics that will be projected over the installation, needs to be done

• And macro shots of the smaller installation to be printed out as A1 prints alongside the two typographic posters.

ON SCHEDULE!

Wednesday 18th May 2011

Painting starts. I will be doing at least three layers, the bottom two will be done by brush, while the top layer will be done with a roller to not leave a brush marks.

Book; in PDF format. Binding starts Thursday.

Open publication - Free publishing

Monday 16th May

Completion of ALL 8 pyramids, sanded down and the back panel glued on.
Tomorrow will be when I start painting them all white.

• I will be constructing 4 more smaller ones on the Thursday morning.
• Thursday afternoon, start of the book binding.

Sunday 15th May

After neighbours complaining with the sounds, I gave the construction a rest for today. Setting out the pyramids to how they would be placed, I've decided that it would be best if there were smaller ones that surrounded the larger.

Two photos taken on how far I have got. One of them with me to show the sizes of the pyramids compared to me.

(me: 1.75m/taller pyramid: 1.20m)

Saturday 14th May

Completed 7 half pyramids today, one of which is 1.2m high, roughly higher than the waist.

If all goes to plan, all 12 pyramids will be constructed by Monday, which leaves me to paint them all white in coming week, allowing at least a week to breathe.


- 3 Books will be printed on Tuesday 17th and binded during Ellen's lesson on Thursday. The Japanese binding technique will be used to bring it all together.


- Posters printed in this week also.

Start of the larger pyramids.

Start of the larger pyramid. 600 x 600 x 1200. Will be completed for tmrw night. The smaller (experiment) pyramid is 260 x 260 x 480. Sanded down, just needs a lick of white paint. Process is long winded with the cutting and putting together, but I think going through the process of cutting all the pieces in one night, and just sticking them the other, so I don't leave it to last minute. Apart from that, i'm happy with the result.
