INSTALLATION

Artist

Louise Bourgeois - 'Spider (Maman)'

Due to the size of the work, transportation and installation are always challenging. These photographs give an indication of the complexity.

I designed, made, and installed the plinth which is integral to the installation, storage, and transportation of the work.

Brackets were an essential part of this installation for support and security, but they needed to be discreet. Their success is evident in them being almost invisible to the viewer.

This is a close up shot on some of the moulds where the handmade brackets are just about visible.

The following pictures illustrate two examples of the handmade brackets that I make.

This handmade bracket allows the object to be angled away from the wall.

These handmade Perspex brackets are strong for support but not invasive to the display.
