I have spent the most lovely Monday in Chancery Lane! With the gentle hum of heavy machinery providing the city with a steady heartbeat, I found myself making quite a bit of progress on my work. After spending my weekend printing, numbering and slicing all four sides of each A4 tile, it was nice to see them in there filling up the space. (10×15)x4=600 slices so far. I am also enjoying getting to know the lane way, it is really a lovely place. I remember thinking how wonderful it was when I was a kid, a rare and mysterious place we didn’t get to go through very often. Then I grew up and realised that we didn’t use much because it wasn’t as magical as it was dirty and probably a bit unpleasant. I can understand how the younger me mistook that for exciting and for a while I was disappointed, but Chancery Lane has made a comeback. It’s clean and it’s cool. The shops are nice, the food is great and the coffee is delicious everywhere you go. Plus people are just welcoming and friendly. The more time I spend there, the happier it makes me to be contributing to its aesthetics. Its nice chatting with the odd stranger walking past but its fairly quiet most of the time. The work itself is coming along fairly well, a few small gaps have occurred due to human error but all problems have a solution at this stage. I am very much looking forward to seeing the final results of this experimental method of paste up deployment. This is my first project of this scale and there have been a lot of surprising variables throwing me curveballs along the way, but tonight I am simply happy with my progress.
