My exhibition proposal stated that I wish to arrange some of my smaller cardboard paintings into a puzzle-like arrangement. I got out all of my paintings and began swapping up their order until I was happy with how it looked and felt like it created a dynamic and thought provoking display. I went looking for some wood  to stabilise this entire endeavour and wasn’t sure what I was going to find but I ended up finding this large thin piece of wood with evenly spaced holes drilled across it, I thought this was quite visually interesting as it brought to mind a pin board, a place where people generally collect ideas to create a larger idea which is what I intended to do with my paintings. I had already begun working on these paintings before I selected them for my exhibition arrangement, I was finding I kept hitting a brick wall when I thought of them as individual pieces of work that would come together coherently, but the main progress of this piece really began when I started thinking of all of the smaller components as just a small part of the bigger picture. I brought this in to uni preparing to hang it before it was complete. I think creating the finishing touches to this whilst in the location of the exhibition really helped me get into a more professional mindset allowing my creativity to be more informed.
