Just a few days before my show and I have spent the last four days in my studio without power. The storm that raged through friday took out power all over the region, including the park.
The other bonus is we have reached record hot temperatures (100+/-). So no electricity means no air conditioning.
Undeterred I am however obsessively finishing some final touches on pieces that I really wanted to have done. Forced to use “stone age” techniques (how ironic given the themes of the show) I can use my torch, but must do every other task without power (drilling, polishing, grinding, pickling). And must do it while it is light out, or by flashlight.
Age of Discovery, which used a swatch of material from the space shuttle was completed without electricity. Funny, huh?
What an adventure!
