Finally got my chainsaw out to begin cutting Sculpture number 3. The day began well and ended badly!

Sculpture number 3. The beginning.
Time lapse experiment
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.

Had a lousy few days
OK here goes. It’s been a while since I last wrote but I’ve been busy all the same. My sculpting activities have been very repetitive and sometimes tedious but I am getting to the end of a stage. So much so that I’ve decided to start thinking about a third sculpture.

Had a bit of fun on my Fine Art course by fabricating an interview with a mythical art magazine. This was written some time ago. Some of the opinions I still hold about art in general. Some I’ve changed my mind about.

Gaudi, Gehry and outrageousness
Spent another day in the workshop working on the details of the first two sculptures.
Just needed to return to my favourite architects today.
