Yesterday I rescued sculpture number 3 from outside the museum workshop and brought it inside. I learnt two things about its origins.
The rain soaked sculpture with a couple of large wine corks glued in place
It’s been a week of four quarters. Some carving outside which was stopped by the rain, some mundane sanding inside which was stopped by boredom, a little tourism to see the mermaid of Zennor and finally some thinking about sculpture number 4.
It’s getting better all the time. Yes, a good day’s carving today. I have circumnavigated the rot, if you’ll excuse the nautical terminology!
Finally got my chainsaw out to begin cutting Sculpture number 3. The day began well and ended badly!
Maquette for Sculpture 3 – balsa wood 1/5 scale
Discovered I can’t upload a video sequence to my blog so I’m trying to link to my facebook to achieve the same result. Click on facebook. The short sequence is me drawing a spiral in preparation for Sculpture 3.
Just spent the weekend at Port Eliot literary festival near St Germans in Cornwall.
Lots of interesting talks and music but I discovered a single theme which connected with my London trip a few weeks ago.
