Slowly slowly getting there with the platform blocks.
Heavy work - lots of surface to paint, paint and re-paint. They are quite heavy but not so difficult to move. I've been doing it alone using a set of wheels - pretty easy. The paint work will get knocked about - but we have to just go with that and touch up when necessary.
Think it's looking beautiful tho.
Bit of a worry about if it'll fit into the man's van...
Dibond to fit next.

THE COVE - developments

Thanks to the help of Marty the platform set for The Cove is well under production:



After some battles with the world of geometry and the curvature of the earth we are closing in on the final structure. It's an endlessly configurable structure which has one specified configuration of a sloping plane based on the original we made in the Port a Doris cove last Sep.

I conceive of the structure - and the movement and configuring of the structure - being a very live element in the choreography - and one that offers an unpredictable (probably starting) ground for each performance.
