Today I was sorting out some research and emailing the Haringey Council to get permission to put up my temporary message hub. The research is going quite well, but I still don't feel that everything is clicking together properly or that ideas are growing organically. I feel at the moment as though I'm trying to control and order notes, images and articles instead of the work developing on its own accord. I need to carry out my 'temporary messaging space' idea first because I think it will be a really fun and different part of the revival project.
I wrote to the council so I can get a license to put up my installation, but I'm a bit worried they'll grill me for all sorts of health and safety things.
In the meantime I'm going to try and develop some material samples for the installation itself. I'm going to do some weaving (inspired by Alsop's piece I saw yesterday). I'm also going to try experimenting with fabrics like different types of netting.
Rupert had a look through my work this morning and we discussed the way's in which I will encourage people to leave messages and become involved with the piece. I would quite like to build on the blue plaque research I was doing last week. I could do a string of prints for blue plaque templates and get people to fill them in. It would tell me about the type of people that live in crouch end today, while also making it seem as though the residents will be remembered in the area's history. The plaques could be hung all over the installation.
