OurSpace thoughts

Met yesterday with Duncan, Marina and Tom Bedford (structural engineer) to discuss the OurSpace pavilion, the meeting was positive and constructive. The project is now moving out of my comfort zone into a wider, deeper space. It’s an exciting moment because up to now the project has occupied territory familiar to me; variations on routes I have already travelled. I now feel challenged by the scale of the structure, not because I can’t do it but because it’s bigger than anything I have made before. I have complete confidence in the team I have around me, which feels good. The potential is here to make a great sculpture/structure for Willingdon Community School.

Research into possible fabrication methods for the discs is my next task.
But first I am going to go on holiday…

I look forward to seeing the orange pavilion. The pictures make me think clouds have been hooked out of the sky and flattened, like squashed marshmallows. I imagine it as a meeting place as well as a space for contemplation. A place where people can be silent or speak to each other. A place for imagination, a place where ideas can circulate.
