So, today is the final day of work. Next week is reserved for clearing & cleaning the studio, and setting up the exhibition space.

Yesterday was spent painting the anchors - which took all day. I am glad that I decided to paint them black. Whilst it certainly is a different aesthetic to leaving them unpainted, I think it is potentially a more useful one. Especially if I can paint the floor space black as well. One thing I will probably need to do first thing though is take a scraper and small brush to the bases to tidy up the join between the bamboo and base.

Wednesday saw the addition of slits to the banners, and the only thing left to do there is get a hole punch and punch some holes in a few of the banners to allow for scrolls.

One of the primary tasks for today will be to bind the 3 remaining books, and attach the banners to the bamboo. I won’t fix them into place just yet though, as I need to be able to rotate the banners into position during set-up next week.
