am thinking about gallery spaces! were could my work be displayed to intensify the meaning? or change it?

been thinking about how the space could alter or enhance the meaning of a piece. the atrium has a clinical open feeling and i could imagine my suspended shirt placed overhead. this would allow the viewers in the gallery to look up and the light shining through the gaps. it also permits another view from the windows above the gallery space for the viewers to look down on it which could present an interesting image. 

in terms of my piece i think its contemplative and calming feeling would fit in well with the hospitals environment, as it can often be a place of thinking about the future and remembering the past.  

atrium gallery at st. james' hospital

today i went with the rest of the logistics committee to visit the atrium gallery. it is an extremely light area with a lot of people constantly passing through. although its a clean crisp area it doesnt feel like a reflective gallery space, due to the hustle and bustle of the patients and visitors. we first entered the space from the back entrance which felt like we were walking into a large corridor rather than a gallery. it was strange how different the feeling is when you walk into the space through the reception entrance, this is because initially your in a shaded area and your eyes are drawn to the bright area of the gallery (due to the natural light from open plan area above). so i think this is something to consider when putting together our exhibition.
