Some time ago, I stumbled upon a commercial art gallery that has a series of artwork suspended with curtain tracks. It's such an elegant and neat way of displaying artwork! I thought that perhaps my school could have something like this too. It seems like such a fine way to display art indoors but we can't replicate exactly what I see because the school compound is semi-indoors so strong winds could tear suspending artwork or tangled long strings.
At home, this is how I support my creeper plants using Daiso plastic nettings. Perhaps the final idea of art display ended up synthesising after incubation.
Let's view the installation process! The contractor helped to source and fix the infrastructure - plastic nettings suspended from curtain tracks. Some prominent places near newly-erected walls were 'choped' first. Prior to this, we usually use blu-tac to hold up students' work which I find too labour intensive especially when we have to roll up four blu-tac (like boogers) for each work. When we remove the works, the whole process has to repeat and because the walls have multiple layers of paint through the years, sometimes the blu-tac just don't stay on very well. Thus, we think to hang the children's work with craft clothespins work better. Recently, we tried to make do with paper clips, a cheaper alternative and it means we are looking at a tougher time to remove them. Will keep you posted for new solutions!
