I talked to Louisa about different ways of presenting my work at both of the locations St James Hospital and at college. We discuss how I’m presenting the photographs to the wall by having two nails either side at the bottom of each photo. The nails will be 1cm proud from the wall. They photos will be resting against the end of the nails at a slant against the wall. The black & white photographs contrast well with the metal grey nails, so the presentation I feel is visual interesting for the viewer. I think this is an unusual way of displaying photographs. I also discuss with Louisa my 100 words that will be accessible to people interested in the artwork at the hospital site. My final words that will be refer to my work are:
Emma Snowdon used photography to capture the history of people coming and going from a chair. People left their presence on the wax base of the chair by creating marks. They then were bottled and laybled to preserve the moment. Through this wax material their ever-changing presence is melted away.
We then looked at ways of hanging my glass bottles against the wall, and Louisa mention about resizing the labels and the adjusting the writings on the labels. I found that I begun to sort things out in my head through talking to Louisa which was very helpful for me.

Hi everyone, Louisa here. I will be in Berlin this week and so I won't see you, although I will still be looking at your blogs. I wondered if anyone from REM or STIMPY would like a quick tutorial (15 mins)with me on the Monday before the deadline, the 11th, to tie up loose ends regarding your work and your submission for the module, or just for a general chat about your project. I am available all day from 10 till 5.

So much of this is about attention to detail. Every tiny change means something, what sort of nails are to be used? What typeface to put the text into? At what angle is the work to be set? etc etc. Presentation can take as much time as production and the lessons learnt then can go backwards into the making. If we are talking biological terms the system would be termed ‘autopoiesis’; which is a self regulating system that has a permeable barrier or membrane whereby it retains contact with the world.
