At the studio, I built a maquette for the Box Project out of foam core board and learned quite a bit about how I what to proceed. I thought that I wanted the faces of the three boxes to be closed so that there would be more area for images. And, I thought I wanted both sides of the outside boxes to be tapered in at different angles.
After building the maquettes, I realize that having the two side boxes open gives me the effect that I want of looking back into the past and looking forward into the future and that the far left and right sides are very visible and provide lots of space for images. Having the inner sides parallel to the center box works well and makes the construction much simpler.
Next step is to make them full size. The question is do I just jump into making them out of clay or do I make a full size mock-up.
I'm still working on organizing the encaustic supplies. Since I don't know if I will be working at home or at the studio I want all that 'stuff' to be portable. 'Sides which, I just love to buy tools and boxes and materials for a new project.
Gardening happened this morning and this evening. Still mixing up the compost and getting plants into the ground. I know, I know, it is mid-July but the plants were free so no loss if they aren't the most productive tomatoes on the planet.
