lighting

i Have 4 halogen spot lights that were left in my space after last years show that i am planning to use. i will probably use one to highlight the single triangular piece in the corner, and the others on to the two others in the bigger space. i haven't decided whether i like the shadows created by having the spotlights turned up quite high and pointing directly at the pieces so i might place the just above the pieces on quite a low setting so there is just a gentle glow coming form the whites string, i also have to consider i have a dark space next to mine, although she is using light boxs that put out a small warm glow which would be quite nice to mimic.
one final point is that i Haven't seen my sculpture in the dark with the newly painted lighter floor, which could effect it.

my space for final show,


the first part of my space, i am planning to block the whole up and have the space dark, i might possible use the halogen spotlights that were left over form last years show to highlight bits of the sculptures or installation i put in.   
the second part of my space opposite the one above, i have to consider the problems of not being able to paint the socket and the cable trunking.


i decided to paint the space black, at first i was only going to paint the walls, nut in the end i decided to paint the ceiling as well, i did consider painting the floor black as well but decided against it. as i felt people would walk on it and the black paint marks very easily and clean line and surfaces are key to my work.
