The collaboration between Laura Ellen Bacon and Myself is ticking on nicely, the final sketch for the sculpture has been agreed upon and work has now begun at the fabricators, (HTF Stainless Steel) to make the three large curved structures.
During next week at the University of Derby the grounds will be prepared with a large sunken concrete bed for the metal curves to be anchored onto and cables for the lighting installed.
It’s getting very close to the weaving week when Laura and I will be on site weaving into the three curved structures, willow will be held together with small round clasps which will be powder coated in the same bright red as the structures.
The date has been set for the unveiling ceremony, and invites starting to go out compiling the guest list for the event.
It’s been a great experience so far working with another artist, and can’t wait to see how things progress over the next few weeks.
Watch this space!
