Sadly, I missed the installation as I had to return back to work and vote. Here are photos which show how quickly the wax has melted transforming the piece in unexpected ways. Who knows what it will look like in a year.

I am really pleased with the residency, it has opened my mind to the quality of work which can be created in a participatory context, and helped me to understand the breadth of ways in which to involve people. Timetabled workshops are not necessary when you are working in situ. Over the two weeks we spent in Grünau making the piece, people called in, saw chatted and took part as and when they felt drawn to.

I am not sure how or when, but I would love to bring a similar project over here sometime.
