So, theGRID’s residency is over for me, and the new artists have moved in. I thought it would be nice to have a wee retrospect of what
Danish and I (along with
Dale Mundi, and Ben Tupas of
Oh Darling Downs) did with the space at the end of the day.
It’s been a gradual process, and I’ve added the photos haphazardly. The only way to best capture the madness might be stop-motion, over a period of weeks. But, here’s a break down of what we’ve done.

Drawing on butcher’s paper, hanging up collages and bunting |

….so there you go then |

[Desk.workspace] – Kelly’s space |
After about a month, I had a couple of desks and what not in the space that I was using infrequently. In part, that was because they were being used for extra height when painting murals (wall drawings?).
I eventually got tired of that and carved out an L-shaped deskspace, into which I piled paint, plastic, snacks, wools, matryoshkas, all manner of junk. That was then my space, but from it I could access/view the room’s many wonderful features;
Flooring:

Loved that astroturf |
Fireplace/vent (with helpful fire diagram above):
 |
A corner of Ben’s space (shelf + plants), example of Dale’s work |
Olive green velveteen couches (cranky old muppets not included):
 |
Some nice n’ shitty couches – they are even worse in person |
A role model for organisational skills (good feng shui?):
 |
Ben’s ultra-organised space |
Eye-candy:
 |
Dale & Danish’s hellspace. Every piece of paper for itself in there. |
No room is complete without one of these:
 |
Dale, again |
Or one of these:
 |
uni-CORNY ahaha! |
 |
Dale’s latest plan: Genetically modifying snakes that shoot tears/upsidedown hearts at intruders to lull them into a state of confusion |
 |
This actually worked really well. Thanks, [flat-pack assembly furniture company] |
 |
Every week, there’d be some other thing on the walls – hard to see in this photo but they’ve really pulled the room together |
Then, it was over. I packed everything in a number of boxes, pulled down the bunting, and left.
 |
[End residency]. |
