Finding the right angle to film the smashing of object III  



/////



Finding the right place of the sculpture in the engine room . This was harder than I thought it would be and took quite a few times of moving it about the room to get right



Moment of truth.....I was very very happy.....I loved how the curve was slightly con-caved which was deliberately encouraged by a last minute extra ribbon bending the curve of the metal vertivcally
 .




From the Workshop to the Gallery

The concrete was applied by throwing it against the steel mold with a shovel. It looked amazing being flung with such force, but I couldn't take photos or film as bit of aggregate were flying everywhere and I was worried I might break the lens

Tim  helped me a lot with this stage because I had hurt my wrist . But watching was like watching someone else brush their teeth...or listen to  someone walk on gravel. It looked and sounded delicious,  combining the cement with water into a batter like mixture.

 I think I decided right at this moment that I loved sculpture.....I loved how every stage was like a new object. I could have quite easily left my sculpture as a curved sheet of stainless steel, lying on a  bed of angled planks and old curtains. 








The Second Curve



I added another ribbon to create a less perfect curve. I wanted it to warp in parts , or be slightly con-cerved as it got near the sides
