Here they are in once place, in the order of their making -
Having compiled that, I remembered taking a photo of them laid out on the plinth - it shows the relative sizes.
Some are light and some are surprisingly heavy. Not all are comfortable to hold.The "balls of words" - one of the sources of this line of thought and work - aren't quite finished, and of course the big red ball of connectivity will be made during the show. I'll be taking of photo of its progress every evening (if I remember!).
It would be good to have one or two with a scent - lavender (in the Victorian language of flowers, lavender is for remembrance) or rosemary ("There's rosemary, that's for remembrance: pray, love, remember" said Ophelia).
They remind me of planets - the very early non-speaking movies with sci-fi themes used to have planets rather like these in outline and in b/w.
ReplyDeleteRosemary is a lovely idea - I marvel at the depth and breadth of your work!
I bet these were a lot of fun to make. I love the way they look. A book about each one would be a lot of fun to create and I'm sure the reading would be great as well.
