Development of ideas for the barn

The last time that I was at the barn, Melinda and I spent the day clearing and cleaning it so that we would be able to use the space for making and presenting art.





I had tried to make a papier mache cast of the trough, but unfortunately it did not work out.





Since my last visit Melinda has moved her studio kit into the barn and is making work in the space.

There are some existing marks on the walls, and Melinda has started to use these in her fresco compositions.

After applying a layer of paint, she has been scraping into the surface to remove the intense colour and make it more subtle.

                                                          

We discussed some of our ideas and made a plan of action.
