this work is based on the fire escape.
i’ve removed the top half of the board that formed the wall and used it to make the platforms. it’s like a kind of archeology trying to find the screws in the board - looking for tell-tale changes in the paint surface and then scraping away to reveal the screwhead beneath.
i don’t know when human eyes last saw that brickwork either?
updates on experiment003. i think it’s starting to get somewhere now.
and this is where i have to leave it until the 18th of august.
i returned to exp003 today.
this was a response to the flooring which, since last time i was here, has suddenly risen underneath the work (and in other areas too) as if the whole building has got smaller and squished the floor. of course i think it is really the timber floor that has expanded but i like the idea. i’ve altered the long, lower board so that is now cut short by a new growth coming out of a recess in the floor.
i’ve also added this piece on the corner. i’m thinking of adding a piece at the other end also, making the work larger than the wall that it is built out from.
