Mounting the Final Piece

After speaking to a lecturer as to how to go about mounting plaster, I have been informed to use an old fashioned drill which will slowly take away the plaster rather than undertaking the uncontrolled manner that a drill often has. I felt an experiment was required before committing to this idea so I used a previous failed experiment to create the holes on the back, experimenting with deep and shallow holes which a scew will then rest in and therefore, mount the piece onto the wall. Measurements were taken of the two deep holes on the back of my experiment to which I copied onto the wall and then drilled two scews into, while leaving enough of the scew out of the wall to catch onto the holes in the plaster. After this was done, I gradually pushed the braille domino onto the wall and thankfully, found that this method worked.

 

I measured the front of each individual braille domino to uncover where the holes would sit and then marked on the back where the holes would go. After this was completed I then marked up the individual measurements of the placement of each hole on the back of every braille domino and copied this onto the wall and marked where each screw needs to go in order to catch onto the plaster casts. Precision is required for this technique to ensure that the scews aren’t measured incorrectly therefore effecting the whole placement.
