    Here we go, the second one reaching its final position. First one in the foreground.

            Been following this throughout the process.

            Really fascinating how it evolved, and all the material and design challenges that had to be addressed (the lifting frame being but one example). Totally impressive all the way around. Looking forward to seeing pics of the completed installation.

            Congrats on making it to the end?!

                It might be a while before we have finished photos. There is a bit of on site work needed to complete them and they have been enclosed to keep them from public view until the opening. Plus we have a bit of an issue with one of them that may necessitate it's return to the studio for some serious remedial treatment. On top of that, the things are almost impossible to photograph. Too many reflections.

                    These sculptures are basically impossible to photograph. I doubt I'll ever get anything showing both looking good. Their very nature makes them a dynamic installation.
                    The figures change constantly with the movement of the sun, one minute hidden in the depths of the pool then as the sun comes out from behind a cloud or around the edge of a building they jump out at you with bright sparkling edges.
                    But reflections and glare make static images difficult but I caught this angle this afternoon that gives you a bit of an idea of how they look.

                      How about a short video?

                            I appreciate how hard it is to photograph, so a 'short' walk around with video might go some way to capturing the artworks

                              It's still a construction zone as you can see.

                                  Actually Rich it needs the sun to work, at night it will be more of a glowing obelisk with a deep pool of moving light at the base. The whole thing changes constantly with the movement of the sun. It will be different at different times of the day and the year and depending on the weather. Plus the whole block expands and contracts as it heats and cools, and we have used a semi fluid gel to create expansion joints and these layers "breath" so you get comet like bubbles shooting through the whole thing. It looks totally different all the way around.

                                      From the sides it looks like a Matrix image.
