24 June 2010 Pre-installation – a team effort

Mimi met Tony Docherty, a timber artist and cabinet maker, at the Albany Public Library to check the measurements for the display unit, which comprises of a perspex box-shaped lid and a natural timber shelf hanging off a slat wall. Mimi decided on this type of display unit after a series of discussions with the Library, and Tony as to a suitable arrangement to house her artwork.  All the measurements for the shelf and the lid were done via third parties relaying the information to Mimi in Sydney.  The perspex lid travelled all the way from Sydney and miraculously made it to Albany in one piece, so when it came to meeting Tony, who is also a master mathematician, for the pre-installation checks,  Mimi was curious as to whether the measurements were correct, she had her suspicions!! They weren’t! Not to worry, Tony, who has now been elevated to genius, felt confident that he would be able to make everything fit. He took numerous measurements, double checked them and booked the installation for Monday 28th June. The three of us then toodled down to Liberte’s for a well deserved coffee break.
