Friday Jan 17th
So it’s nearly the end of the first week
and I am quite pleased that I our work has speedy up and we have nearly completed
all the mushrooms. It’s always the
decision making process that slows you down – not wanting to commit to an idea
until the very last moment. We have
decided on an acid yellow tile for the outline that will glow around our
mushrooms – we hope it will help them stand out.
So much of the day is given to making very thin lines of yellow.
There is no word yet back from the Mayor
about the wine or the skulls. I think they are less worried now about the
Indian goddess and French gnome – and to
be honest there is not much they can do about it as we are half way through the
project. Many of the Chilean artists come to talk to me and express support for
the text and images that I have used in my work. They tell me how happy they are to see these
sentiments reflected and that I must defend the right to keep them there.
The Chilean team have half completed the
near total front of the building. They
really are working at an incredible pace.
The work very closely together, laughing
and joking - 20 of them working in very close proximately together. It seems like the castle they are mosaicing is now becoming a fortress which will guard the surrounding magical garden.
