Last week has
seen me out and about of the workshop and on site with the contractor for the
foundations. We had the sun on our backs, which was unusual as the rain has
been persistent the last few weeks. It has left the ground very wet, with mud
and soggy terrain everywhere. The location of the artworks in the park are
situated close to the new pathways, however the prospect of getting
mini-diggers and dumpers in and out of the park could still cause a muddy trail
if we are not careful. The other worry, which I will have when the stone
arrives, is the tight and narrow access. The park is restricted and has a few
obstacles to overcome, literally..
On a really
positive note I had the pleasure of walking the site on another day last week
with Jo the project manager and Eva the Park Ranger for Cobtree Park. These
conversations with other professionals can be very informative for the artist
as it allows for contributions and suggestions regarding landscaping and
planting which will enhance both the artwork and the immediate environment. To know
that these developments are being considered is quite exciting as it allows for
the sculptures to really become part of the landscape and settle into the
space. The intention being that they create the sense that they have always
been there.
