I finally got my RiverText installed on Wednesday for the Chorlton Arts Festival Big Art Walk. We have had monsoon rains this week and I was really worried that the Brook would have flooded and I wouldn’t be able to get in safely. Also I woke up on Tuesday with a swollen, painful throat, making it difficult to swallow or speak. Looking out into the gloom from the bus window as I headed into my studio I though, am I mad?
Emily Pitts arrived promptly at 10.30am to help me move 3 suitcases of bricks, they were very heavy! On site Jude and Mickela came along and we discussed the best way of getting them down the steep bank. We considered throwing them in but didn’t want to get them damaged. Someone came up with the bright idea of using plastic bags and gaffer tape to lower them down to me two by two. It worked, jobs a good un, bish bash bosh etc!
I had some great fun splashing around in the river trying not to fall in while bemused dog walkers looked on.
