"XIII"

This metal rod has a weld - joining two rods together, approx 16ft in length.  Seemed to be abandoned out side the triangle space and a bit of a danger, people having to walk over it.  I pulled it to one side for safety,  made some enquiries and before you know it, I'm the new owner!  Right there on the spot, using my feet and hands I twisted the metal into this wonderful shape, having in mind for a plinth?   Had missed an earlier opportunity in salvaging some breeze blocks, someone beat me to it.  With the breeze blocks I had in mind of gluing together and form a shape like The Rock, a slim version, to use as a plinth.

Getting ready for our first exhibition in the triangle space, as a group.
Focus on planning!
Have submitted my proposal form, now in the process of making, already having made changes - love it!
Some writing on the back of the photos, right click and go into properties, will give some information.  Check it out!



again! having more luck in salvaging metal from the scrap box in the metal workshop.
I create the cube, a bit Francis Bacon, but my real inspiration comes from the play "13"
Also looking at Eva Hessa's work.

The inspiration for this comes from Phyllida Barlow.  Her recent exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, Piccadilly, London
Also looking at William Turnbull work, in particular...Tall Balance 1992.

13 - Productions - National Theatre

Now that I have attached the cube to the plinth, I realise its a bit top heavy.
Had to think about it over the weekend.  How I could stabilise, but at the same time
keep the spring movement intact, some ideas, but those ideas would have taken
away from the aesthetics.

My work has turned upside-down.  I like it!  Now the plinth has become
the art, the cube has become the plinth.  Will it work?  viewing the spring
from different angles it looks to me like a sketch or writing. 
Has lots of possibilities.

Have been very busy this past few days.
Had great fun with moving my ideas about, using lots of metal,
not wanting to over work a piece, I moved on to making more, with the same team in mind.
Now I got to decide on what to show next Monday?
