forward progress

Moving forward with my project today I started setting up a small scale installation in order to work out some size, color content relationahips. I will try to post pictures shortly but for now words will have to do. I set up three lanes of traffic that have come to a complete stop due to a collision of epic proportions. A metro police helicopter has fallen out of the sky and crashed into the cab of a red eighteen wheeler causing a light blue sports car to crash into a brown sports car and if that was not bad enough there is some sort of natural disaster coming.

What object did you picture in your mind, to represent that natural disaster?
If you want a hint as to the natural disaster I have chosen I will give you hint, it references one of Bill Murray's funniest movies and it is 50 feet tall. In addition to this small installation (that will grow and change as I move toward the final installation) I have been making little drawings about the space, my experience here and certainly planning my proposed moves. I have also been attending meetings about the South Elm Street Redistricting Project you know revitalise the downtown and what not so if you have opinions about making the cement plant a good neighbor then they would love to hear from you. Well that is all for today, thanks for stopping by, more later stay tuned.
