My pieceĀ now focuses on the idea of the railway and the warehouse’s uses. I have a literal railway that runs around the back wall of the library and will carry a small amount of grain. This will be a play on my idea of a trail, as you can follow the railway from board to board. My idea of a board has developed to being the different stations that the railway used to stop at.
Starting with Lincoln, through to Midville. these ‘station’ points will each have a different visiual art piece to focus on. For example, at ‘Lincoln Station’, there will be a window framed with book spines to make you focus on the Lincoln Cathedral.
Each station gives focus to a different aspect connecting the library and the warehouse. This idea has developed from my proposal meeting with Conan and Dan and their suggestions on how to make my work bigger and more ambitious. By having my boards develop into visial art pieces, this has made me focus more on the materials I could use and also work on a bigger scale.
The pieces will be at eye level and so will capture the attention of library users and bring their attention to the back wall of the library, which is my overall aim.
