Tracey Emin - 'My Bed'

1998

The main challenge with this artwork is the number of individual items. I introduced a system where all the items would be documented and numbered, providing a complete record of contents, enabling any missing items to be immediately identified.

Grayson Perry - Pot

This shows the casing of a Grayson Perry pot with an internal Plastazote lining and constructed shelf and support to accommodate the separation of the lid and vase, for safety reasons.

This is an example of simple and cost-effective packing of two objects into case with an integrated 50mm Plastazote divider and Tyvek to reduce abrasion.
