I think the clutter and general amount of items is better shown when I sat in the space as you can see the scale of the piece and imagine yourself inside the piece.

Completed space: just add tags.
A selection of photos of the progress made since the shelves were added to the space:
At these stages I have been adding as many items that I am going to use as possible. The objects aren't quite in their final places, and there is still a variety of small issues to sort out such as lighting, finishing the net curtains and Tags. But the space, to me, is clearly becoming a room.
In the 3 above images the space is completed, minus tags and curtains. All of the items are basically in their final places.

Exhibition update
Today the 'picture rail' and shelves were added to my space which made a huge difference!
I am now going to gradually build up the items in the space, which I couldn't begin to do until I had the space ready- which it now is. Very pleased with the progress so far.

Maquette 3
For my final small-scale version of my installation, I created a model using mount board, doll house furniture and wallpaper. I think it is helpful to look at the piece in terms of composition. And I really need to assess what areas need more objects to fill gaps etc. Obviously, I didn't quite have exact replicas of what furniture and objects I will actually be using but I did put them in the same places and used similar pieces too.
I was quite pleased with the finished piece. In my installation their will be more objects and more photos on the walls plus shelves. It was helpful to look at the space (the dimensions of which I completed in relation to my actual space.) and see how the items would fit, where to place things and how much more I need.

Maquette 2
I have completed a very small scale mock-up, including objects which will be used in my installation. I have taken a selection of photos and edited some. They all convey the chaotic, very busy style I want but also the use of a large variety of different objects, which are someone's possessions.
These are two of the images I am most pleased with.

Statistics.
For the tags I am creating I have been using a variety of statistics related to life and the world we live in today. I am sewing the tags into a net curtain, creating a collection of information to be viewed when the curtains are hanging.
Some of the statistics:
250,000 deaths a year by AK-47
126,496 divorces in England and Wales in 2009.
23 years of a lifetime spent asleep.
77.9- the life expectancy of a UK male in 2009.
82- the life expectancy of a UK female in 2009.
However, I have also used the worldwide statistics on tags in relation to other information.
E.g.
'The World Aid Foundation charity lists 50p would buy a child a meal, £3 would pay a child's month school fees, £30 would buy a family food for a month, £30,000 would build and provide a family with a two- room house. In 2007 world aid built houses in Balakot, Pakistan. The national minimum hourly wage in England is £5.93 for over 21s. In 2011 Pakistan has announced a $5.7 billion defence budget- an 11% increase on the previous year.'
The information can clearly be linked but I am not giving any links in the tags. I think the information speaks for itself.
I am going to complete more tags in this style which incorporate different facts to give an important comparison. I have already made one including casualty statistics for ongoing wars and the death toll of the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami.
