I’ve just been having a quick look at this site: http://sciencescapes.co.uk/
Caught between doing the necessary admin to increase project awarenss and making the work. I have now started the second section at least – using two old OS maps of the area I have approximated the region that corresponds to […]
Good day today. Lots of creative decisions made. Booked the project space to play in the basement, complete with scaffold tower so I could climb up and dangle things from the ceiling. I must say the combination of hard hat, […]
