| got up way earlier
than normal to get down to Tukwila by 7 am to rent big compressor to spray cement mixture on armature Sarah had fabricated, fullsize prototype for commission at Highline College. we met Žanetka at Jeff's workshop, where Sarah is subletting space, for the first of three days of training from faux rock star Warren Ness. after all the hassle of renting the compressor and running around to find proper hose fittings for sprayer Sarah bought, we ended up simply applying the "mud" by hand. this is the hard coat, basically the bones. top layers will consist of a different mix with additives that make it easy to carve and hold its shape. it was a long ass day, 6:30-8:30, but enthusiasm was high and no one really wanted to stop. it's been a hell of a year riding Sarah's coat tails as her construction assistant from Michigan to Philly to this and the ride ain't over yet! making art is a great excuse to learn new skills. |
