On a hot day, in Erics garden i demostrate the fine art of taking a perfectly nice vehicle and ruining it, to local artists. Charlie keeps finding shiny, space-age vacuum cleaners, lamp fittings and vintage headlamp bowls for me to weld on. The plywood frame upon which the aluminium skin will be screwed is almost done. 5 fat sheets of birch ply, 90 steel brackets and 300 screws, one bottle of glue. Two fibreglass patio vases have become ‘jet thrusters’.
