Acrylic-bob, thanks for the post. I really understand and agree with what you say
I know that I should let this idea mature a bit, and give it some space to breath. Unfortunately my tutors think otherwise and want something out of my work now. I am literally being forced to continue with this idea, even though it is an idea not to be rushed.
Art is being so rushed now
I prefer it taking time.
So I have decided to make the planning and organisation of the project the work itself (kind of like Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work) rather than the end product (the sculpture) because there is no way that it will be allowed to be made and finished in the next few months, or get the funds, or workforce, or anything really. It's far too soon.
Also, even though I've always wanted the sculpture to be temporary, I was wondering what you all thought of Antony Gormleys Angel of the North? (because this is permanent). And it got a lot of stick and aggro when the idea about it came out, so was just wondering what your thoughts on this are?
