26th: Managed to get a bit of press coverage for the dome in the Beeld, a local South African paper. Unfortunately my Afrikaans is not that great but I am working on a translation. In the meantime here is a link to the article: Klim binne-in Fuller se kuns en visie
Camera Obscura Progress: Decided to work on something else for the moment, but it should be ready next week.
23th: Welcome to the mess that is my garage. It was clean on the weekend but life being what it is.....
Camera Obscura Progress: As of today I am really starting to feel like I am eating this project. For some reason, with everything thing that I try and do there is some sort of cock up involved. Underestimating materials required, cutting pieces wrong, gettin smacked in the face by pieces of timber spat out by the saw. Every day there has been something that has inspired visions of stuffing the contraption into a corner and forgetting about it. I suppose I only have myself to blame. I should have just made him a box with a hole in it rather than giving him this pimped up version.
So next week the dome is coming down. it seems like only yesterday that I put it up.
19th: This is something that I have been commissioned to make. A camera obscura for an artist. I am still tomake the box that sits on top and houses the lens and mirror. Still have to make the doors and the drawer as well that sits below the drawing area. Oh and the legs too. the red table is not what it is going to be standing on.
19th: Here is a little something I have been doing for an exhibition at Cameo Framers. At first I just did the Barbie. But it just seem so wrong to have a Barbie without a Ken, so I made a Ken. Strictly speaking he shouldn't have a little todger but I thought that I would give him something to make hime the envy of all other Kens.
The exhibition opens on Saturday sometime in the morning I guess.
11th: These past few weeks have been a mixed bag. There was the installation of the Sphere at the UJ gallery. That week proved to be a logistical nightmare with trying to enter work into Sasol New Signatures and then having to pick it up all in the same week. Didn't get in, but I did manage to get some feed back re my entry which was good. Going to make a few changes and then enter it for something else.
Last week I heard that I had sold Magnum. This might be the way to go - creating cameras that have their own value beyond that as a functioning object. Hmmm might be time to investigate those ideas that I had a while back but have failed to do anything about.
