Yesterday Fiona and I collaborated on the design, assemblage and installation of a sculptural post and finished off the adjacent bench seat. The photo above shows the completed installation. The post is about 16cm square; in the ground by about 15cm and about 120cm high.
The photo below was taken by Faith who assisted in the siting of the post. Two slightly warm, weary but happy artists.
The photo below is a detailed one taken by Fiona of the top of the post. The top plate always plays a dual purpose - to look interesting and to stop water getting into the post through the top grain and cracks.
Following are some more process and detailed photos - taken by Fiona and myself - you can tell from the handsets who was taking the photos. Some of the rusty elements had both form and function in that some straddled and therefore secured cracks in the timber.
Ending with a slightly different angle of the installation.
We are happy that we got this post and bench completed before heading to Scotland. The post can now weather slowly - grey off and the rust to become more pronounced.
