Painted Figurines, for a Ballet Rambert dance entitled: Colour Moves, 1983. Choreographer was Robert North with backdrops by Bridget Riley.

The display of this collection of machetes is in a glass vitrine with glass shelves. Small magnets are used to stop them from falling over, which is less intrusive than being 'stuck down'.

The dancers' hands or necks were reinforced with thin strips of Japanese paper as well as any delaminating card was re-pasted back together.

Name: Bridget Riley’s card models of dancers

Media: Poster paint on mount board

Conservation:

• This project was referred to ‘housekeeping’ meaning any card that was delaminating was re secured and any arms that had been creased were reinforced before being put into a display cabinet

• Tiny circular magnets were used to keep these little models standing in the cabinet.
