Installation

Posted by: Lucia

 

I know this is very, very, late. We have been crazed this week with cleaning up the poofs of mattresses around our apartment and making a peep bunnay for the silent auction for artXposium. We also thought maybe we shouldn’t give away what the mattress bunny looked like before people who went to the opening of artXposium saw it.  

Juste a note: Paul KIein mentioned mattress bunny in his Art Letter– thanks Paul!

So, there will be very few words- just a lot of images. This was a 5 hour process, as we were still figuring out where holes were going to be drilled and how things were going to line up. From now on it should go up with no problem and should take just about an hour to install. 

 

With no further interuptions, I give you… Mattress Bunny

this is the battery for my drill- it’s a sad bunny

we drilled out holes for a lag bolt to go through

Putting on the body suit

That’s a big body

Lining up the stencils to make holes to accept the haunches and paws

Feeling around for the lag screw

AND IT’S STANDING!

One ear goes in

Got to get it just right

Leveling out the paws

It’s a bunny- hello mattress bunny.

 

 

 

we will be posting more images tomorrow of the opening and such. We are looking for another venue to show mattress bunny- so let us know if you have anything in mind. Otherwise, we will be installing mattress bunny in our back yard so those who want to can see it in all it’s alley glory.
