Preparation for Site 10

As the final days of the teaching semester draw to a close, work on Site accelerates through-out the School.  I have stored all of my colored cylinders in the Window Box at sculpture and I am busy painting cardboard sheets and boxes.  When my Site location is available and clear I can start assembling my work.
    There will be three main works:   1)  colored cylinders hanging from painted cardboard boxes which in turn hang from the rafters in the mezzanine.  Viewers will be able to walk through the cylinders which will be free to move and form differing patterns as the boxes rotate.  There are approx 50 boxes.  2)  A series of Matchstick Constructions set on foam plastic bases.  These will be displayed at the far end of the space, set on painted cardboard sheets placed on trestle legs.  They consist of matchsticks, glue, misc items, yarn, foam plastic, cardboard.   3)At the other end of the room, after passing thru the colored cylinders, viewers will see a version of a tsunami wave.  This is formed by huge "brushstrokes" consisting of long tubes of adhesive-backed vinyl painted sea-blue-green and filled with paper.  A paper "sea spray" at the top, there may be discarded surf boards and a beach ball as well.  The wave is 3 meters high and about 6 meters wide.

    So, I will be very busy installing all of this work and I may need to spend all night in the studio one week-end.
