'Off the Page' exhibition, hanging the show

When we had to sign up for roles to take on during the exhibition process, I put myself forward for the hang team (despite being a good head shorter than everyone else on the team). This is because I'm interested in curation and thought it would be a great bit of experience.

Learning from the difficulty that last year had with exhibiting, the college provided us with frames this year, meaning we had a uniform hang - this made our lives so much easier! Luckily Becky at Colours May Vary was very relaxed and encouraging, and just let us get on with putting the work where we thought it worked. The process of arranging the work was actually really good fun, and it was an interesting challenge to be made to consider what totally unrelated pieces sat together well on the wall.

I'd definitely be interested in doing some more small curator roles in the future, maybe the end of year show? We did a really good job together, and had a lot of positive feedback about how sharp the show looked, which was very encouraging to hear!
