Exhibition opening night













So there are some things I like and some things I dislike about the work. I do like the plinth being a little too big because it makes the work appear even smaller. I like the fact that I haven't added more because I don't want it to look like a cosmetic counter in any way (unlike Janine Antoni Lipslick).

I don't like the label, I wanted it bigger and longer but had an accident with a guillotine. Also I should have labelled it "Sugar, Lard and Plastic Lid" possibly? I have not referred to the lid in the title and it maybe looks like an afterthought although it wasn't.

Overall, I quite like it. People have touched it (I'm so anal I can tell). I don't really mind that my beautiful wee peak of lard has changed, I quite like the fact that it drew someone in enough to touch.
