Four months to installation! As I work on my last figure …it’s huge, it’s heavy, it takes forever to build up…I’m more than ever convinced that SIZE DOES MATTER.
Working on the design for the installation from drawings to a scale model (life ÷ 4) to maquettes (life÷5), I discovered that a life-size (which depends on your size÷1) scale was necessary to get the personal gut reactions I hope to elicit. Consequently, Fenced will be a 12’ x 12’ x 6’ installation.
To give my body a bit of a rest and to spend some R& R with special friends, I’m heading off to the fabulous Haliburton School for the Arts to do a course in Jewellery – Forming and Surface Decoration. Talk about a switch from the ridiculous to the sublime … from (life ÷ 1) to (life ÷ 30). Who knows what will evolve in these tiny copper sculptures?!
From (life ÷ 5) to (life ÷1)
