Abbie is home again from the galvanisers! She had a slight bump on her head and a minor dent in her belly. Not surpising, as she had to share the big tank of molten zink with a ship's anchor and a bollard and other nautical things. But both flaws take only minutes to fix again. As she is now, she is far too shiny, which makes it difficult to see her true form in a photo. Next stage is spray-painting her to make her shape easier to see, and the base she stands on has to be partially (or wholy) covered with either pigmented cement, or, if she has to go to other centres like Whanganui as part of a travelling exhibition, I'll use polyester bog instead. More expensive, but lighter and stronger. - Anyone around Whangarei needs a bag of pre-mix cement? - We'll just have to see how the pregnantism exhibition will develop. Here in Whangarei it will be in the Yvonne Rust Art Gallery, in "The Quarry", from 3 to 23 October next year. Will take me that long anyway to make enough sculptures of different sizes and different materials.
Nice work, Leo!
