We have really felt that to make this project complete we need a character related to the ship-building industry.
With this in mind Phil has chosen French shipbroker Wigdohn Edouard, living at no 14 during the 1800s. Phil has also been inspired by his family history, as his grandfather was a ship`s captain.
Gemma is giving us a step by step account of her character in the making. A fascinating insight into the life and means of a dressmaker in the mid 1800s, who by all accounts were usually pretty impoverished and may have increased their income by "less worthy means".
Gemma`s building up an impoverished, shabby-glam,`heroin-chic` character, reflected in this make-up.
On a different subject. As Art-wave, having set this in motion we`re pondering our roles. Weaving together all the different strands of the project has become our art, and Sunniside is our canvas.
