I now need to focus on how to hang my work for the show so i can figure out how many prints I want to make and if I need to create any more images. I've been looking at ways that I can hang my work and have many options. I could hang my pieces side by side with a few inches apart which will give my work a nice clean standard look. However, if I want to show more work I could display my work at different heights so there is more of a collage effect. This could give more of a narrative feel, but make the flow of the work less temporal.

Quotes:
"The eye gravitates more naturally towards framed pictures and representational pieces"


"If you're hanging multiple pictures together on one wall, pick one to go in the center. Kamps gives the bull's-eye location to the most important piece, regardless of its size. You can pick your favorite. Then he radiates the rest of the works out from that focal point, always separating two same-sized pieces with a smaller one."

The article noted different tools needed in order to easily hang the work. it suggested not using wire because the work can easily go off balance.
