Site-specific art process PT.1

When I mention to possible clients that I do site-specific work more times than not they don't know what I'm talking about. So, I have decided to document the process right here with a current client.

Once I have obtained a client that knows they want a piece and where they want it, I first photograph the space. Taking particular note of personal styles, design layout, and colors. This might be the only time I see the space.

The first part to be determined before a price can be figured is the size. I do a series of sizes superimposed over the photos I took. This gives the client an idea of what the space will feel like once the piece is hung. Once that is determined then a price can be agreed upon with the client. In this case the client already had an idea what size they wanted. So it is easy to figure the specific size.
