Building, Working, Making
Making
1) “Stained Glass Conservation”. 2001
V&A Museum workshop.
2) “Glass Cutting”. 2001
Ely Cathedral, Stained Glass Museum, weekend course.
I found cutting the glass very difficult, so had to pause and
admire the view before trying again.
3) “Glass Painting”. 2001
Ely Cathedral. Stained Glass Museum, weekend course.
For a while there was choir practice below, and music floated up.
(The making of this painting is shown in “Developement“.)
4) “Flight Day”. 1999
Perse Girls School.
All sorts of ingenious ideas
Painting
1) “Face Painting”. 2002
Jubilee Street Party, London.
The children loved the freedom of the street.
2) “Old Level Crossing”. 1997
Painting in the train on a disused Railway Line
at a level crossing in the Fens.
Building
1) “Directors Chairs”. 1995
Extension foundations trench.
2) “Oversite Team”. 1995
Laying the floor of the extension.
3) “On Stage”. 2001
Cambridge Arts Theatre, Stage Door.
During renovation the contractor’s cabin
sat on the stage. Behind it you can see
the height to allow for scenery changes.
4) “Cladding the Balcony”. 2001
Cambridge Arts Theatre, the Circle level.
5) “Placing the Lights”. 2001
Cambridge Arts Theatre, scaffolding above the Circle.
The ceiling is shaped to hide the spotlights from the audience.
Soon after it was painted very dark blue.
6) “Fabrication”. 2006
Welding a staircase. Ipswich
Working
1) “Loading Down”
A canvas-sided van is unloaded in the main warehouse.
A yellow painted trolley helps with unloading a package,
while behind a large lifting vehicle hoists a car up to
the car store level, (full of old Bentleys!)
2) “Loading Up”
Everything in the house has been packaged up,
even the grand piano, now being lifted into
the Removals container.
