Protection Theory

I woke up this morning knowing it would be a day of minor artistic accomplishment—and it was. I exited my bedroom and carried the scaffold portion of HG downstairs to join the rest of its current components. That same scaffold—or lattice—had spent the night in the room where I slept, perhaps absorbing something through the dark hours. The video cassette vessel for HG was in good shape this morning. I need to add the center break, cut and glue the backer panel onto the whole assembly, prime it, and eventually attach it to the master panel.

I also started looking into constructing or sourcing some wooden pedestals for at least two pieces in the show—DOS and MK. Ideally, they’d be no less than 42" x 12" x 12". As usual, time is the main issue.

I’ve been thinking about NACL. After adding the suffocation device from HG to it, I now plan to incorporate visual figures for AC and RM. These will serve as the main focal point, positioned along the top of the salt shelf. A new eight-part spindle top has been primed, and I’ve also added two side pinnacles to accompany the salt shelf. They already have a lovely powder blue color I’d like to keep—but I’ll see how it all feels as the piece comes together.
