Gek's Third Solo Exhibition - The Model



Things must be getting serious now,  I have made a twelfth scale model of Gek's exhibition layout!!!!  The real thing needs 1,500 sq ft to set it up in.  Every component is at least 6 foot high.  Gek, of course, is 5 foot nothing!
 
 There are four separate but related parts,  the progression through the art work being in a clockwise direction.

 First you meet Gek and a small selection of her friends.

Second is the rest of the world, Faces of peoples from different parts of our planet forming an enclosed, 12 ft diameter circle.  We have laid this out for real and I have to say, the effect of standing at the centre with 12 pairs of eyes on you is quite weird. Perhaps we need to have smelling salts available just in case we have a fainter!!!

 Thirdly, you come across these multiple emotions images, emotions that we all have from time to time.
 
Included in this part is a  stack of paintings showing moods, happy on the top of the pile, troubled on the bottom. Well, it is an "installation", you know.

And last but not least, the 'Seven Ages', for which I don't need a photo of the  model sails because I have a for-real photo.  Roll on the 16th October.  Wonder if it will all 'work'?
