Been finishing off my light boxes and preparing my space for assessment this week. I'll be showing 5 boxes (3 of which light up) and a projection work. Will photograph my space when I do all the finishing touches... but here are some pictures of my light boxes as they are right now. There will be 5 in total, I just have to get one more picture printed and mounted into its box, and get wire ties to tidy all the wiring up, then I'll be done. The three boxes that light up have laser engraved text into the images. All texts were taken from my summer project, where I documented every visit to my Gran in hospital and her empty house.
"Some other people joined me when I was in the visitors' room. They were telling me how their Mother was dying and had been there for 4 months. They told me to pray to god and then Granny will get better. I did not find their advice terribly helpful. Granny will never be getting home, she will almost certainly not be getting better, and telling me a load of shite about religion will not save her from that.";
"There was a scab on her lip and her mouth was just hanging open, her head tilted back. We each held her hand and she sort of responded. Her hand was so soft and warm; it seemed so strange.";
"She was just babbling nonsense again, and then went into her handbag to look for things, but then I thought she was falling asleep. Her eyes rolled back, her mouth hung open, and she shook. Mum says she was probably having a small fit.";
Sorry about the poor quality images, they're very hard to photograph!
