What Are the Workshops? The first two of the sixteen workshops in July start on Friday! I have been ordering supplies for the workshops this week. We will be using PVC pipes, ceramic tiles, premade steel flowers, stamps for patterns on wood, metal and fabric, a full door, a window, misc colorful elements to be hung from the sculpture, panels made of wood and metal, colorful duct tape, letter punches, birdseed, 2x4s for benches, audio recording equipment, birdhouses, steel pipes, steel circles, colorful paint, paint pens and more!
Are you wondering… how is she going to make all this into a sculpture that travels around Minnesota? Well, I can tell you that I am getting pretty good at taking what I have and making the most of it. Do you find that you are better with a detailed plan or are you better with a little wiggle room? With the help of a steel framework, I will use the materials from the workshops and create a space you can go inside. I promise you. This is going to be exciting! I work fairly organically- which means that I start with a concrete plan but then I allow for change to happen as necessary restraints takeover.
Good news! The MN public television series MN Original is going to do a segment on the Locomotive Sculpture project. They will be recording some footage in July and in August and it will likely air in September.
Patterns- Some of the workshops include the opportunity to paint colors and designs. Here are some examples of colorful patterns. Do you like one of these patterns more than the others? I think that patterns help control the chaos of using many colors. It adds some structure. If you wanted to design something with a pattern what pattern would you choose?
