Witth the minatures finalised comes the problem of mounting and exhibiting in the best possible way. I have tried to bevel the edges however the outcome was a disaster leaving me with little choice other than to trim the edges straight, though the trimming was less than a quarter of a millimetre on all sides the scale of the images meant that this was a substantial amount to lose, even trying to square the pieces off was a challenge in itself, once again down to the simple fact that each piece is tiny, the smallest being less than 2cm square, however alls well that ends well as they say.Still the wrestle with the boards that they will be mounted on continues, having now established dimensions that I am happy with with regard to the overall size, 13 x 10cm, I am grappling with the content; with the original boards being divided equally in half there was insufficient content to express the whole point of the exhibition, that being to highlite the taking over and pushing into the history books the Kendal of old by way of modernism through corporate colours and logos making the high street little more than a copy of every other town in the country.
I have now further divided one half of the board allowing for a full 50% of the board to be committed in support of the old, the ancient and the man made over computer generated plasticised and clinical corporate colours under which the old town lies.
