A frustrating week of trying to get the computer motherboards from the local repair guy. After multiple trips around the block to his shop, the effort finally netted a grand total of 3. I need to find a better and more efficient way of doing this, though I suspect going to the computer shops is still going to be the way to get the materials I need.
With a little over 2 months left to complete the work, I think I’m going to stop working on Surfing The Deathline 4 for a bit, and get the UWS sculpture out of the way, at least so that I’m not worrying about it.
So the plan for now is:
- Get Circuit boards.
- Mock up the sculpture, possibly in cardboard or foamcore.
- Build the armature.
- Locate braided hose.
- Finish construction.
Once that’s done, I’m thinking that I’ll start releasing an episode of Surfing The Deathline every month, which would give me 3 months to get book 4 finished, and take me through to the end of the ArtStart grant.
The other big news is that I’m going to New Zealand in April for 3 days, to visit Gibbs Farm, one of the largest private outdoor sculpture collections in the world.
