b a c k o n t h e a r t m a k i n g t r a i n



Finished production of the Brazil artwork! It’s a little rough around the edges - if we were to remake it/re-show it we might make the maquette out of thin ply as opposed to card. However, there is something very disposable about the material which works very well with regards to how the objects are supposed to be discarded. When we finally added the tiny trees it really helped with making it seem real - we thought about maybe including a car or a bench but decided against it. It does feel nice to have made something new but the production was a little last minute and felt like a bit of an afterthought, almost as if we regretted applying...Perhaps it’ll feel better once we have the studio because we won’t just feel cramped up in the living room trying to live around the work and vice versa. Either way, we’re looking forward to seeing how the rest of the show turns out (we’ll upload the work to the site once the pics are in) and getting onto our next project.
