Day 2 – Concepts are moving forward

By the morning of day two, the young artists have chosen their sites and are beginning to work out how to apply their original ideas to the shapes and forms they are finding in the landscape.  Ideas are evolving and some things discarded.  Color palettes are becoming more and more refined.

I also show them my giant ‘spool’ knitter my husband made for me, and several of the groups incorporate what it can do into their projects.  It can make a giant piece of knit in a very short amount of time, and really any kind of fabric can be used, the wilder the better.  We also plan for a work time up on the plateau.
