9. Were you happy with the way your work was displayed?
Practitioner 1 I think a lot was done with the lighting, so yes
Practitioner 2 The architecture as an office environment wasn’t really
giving too much possibilities, but all the pieces had to fight
with that situation.
Practitioner 3 There seemed to be attention to the lighting in particular I
thought it was very good.
Practitioner 4 …it could have been better probably, but that was the space
and… the other work that was there and the lighting
seemed to be a bit of a problem, but that seems to be a
problem with the space rather than anything that was
controllable
Practitioner 5 I’ve had worse spaces and I’ve had better spaces, but no, it
was fine. The lighting [was good] Especially the windows as
well. You go past them and it’s almost a still life in itself
Practitioner 6 As far as the rather bleak and sterile space allowed, yes.
