So the other day with a couple of fellow course members we ventured to the Henry Moore institute where there was a variety of different exhibitions on including Alan Johnston's exhibition. Due to the fact that there was much hype surrounding it I was excited to see the space and what had been done with it

I feel the aspect i was most looking forward to was the fact it was all done with one pencil and so i thought that one would be presented with some considered and extraordinary marks.
However i could not help but feel disappointed. The space itself was a rather strong area in which to exhibit, with great natural light and a spacious, free feeling, but the 'drawings' seemed to be swamped by the space and not so considered, nor appealing.
With regards to the gallery space itself and with the consideration of this brief i feel that it was a strong space and helped me to visualize how natural light can play such a large component within an exhibition. I cannot help but feel that if this exhibition had not been supported by such string natural light then it would have been even more unsuccessful.
And so i've started to have a look into natural light within exhibition spaces, although i know this is not really a possibility for our exhibition maybe there is some way in which i can evoke the feeling and atmosphere of natural lighting?!
