Today was Open Day on the Ness of Brodgar Dig. Despite bad weather crowds of people came to see how the excavations are progressing. The rain limited my drawing time but I managed two drawings during the (almost) dry spells.
Tours of the site continued all day and there was Neolithic beef stew with barley in pots on a peat fire, and Beremeal flat breads cooked on a hot stone. Unfortunately, due to health and safety, the public were not allowed to taste the results.
Meanwhile, I made some studies of the sky from the shelter of my car boot.
My plan is to make some layered images of drawings with watercolour, which could become part of a film combined with my sound recordings. I’ve also been collecting clips of video that could be used in the background. There is much experimentation to do.
