The Forest

So we've been loading in Reckless all week, and I've been mainly working on my elevator/phone booth. But since I didn't get any pictures of the booth in the space, I thought I'd show you what I worked on the week before for Midsummer's Night Dream.



These 'trees' are made up of 1/4 inch pencil rod steel that we've bent and twisted to create the branches of the trees. The trees themselves sit inside some see-through columns so that when the columns rotate, the trees will be completely visible from the back.



There will be a pediment on top of the columns and on top of that we'll see the trees branching out with these top pieces.



Paints is starting the process of covering our metal skeletons. First they fill the branches with news paper.



Then they coat them with good ole' plaster of paris.



This project was actually pretty fun to work on, though there were many space limits do to the columns, we still got a chance to create a little bit.
