Snow shelter

This is a photo I took of my final interactive Shelter sculpture, with some photo tweaking by my sister (thank you!). While there was some idea of photographing it at Portobello beach, I thought the snow would also make a good setting due to the white outer of my sculpture and the contrast of the smooth shell to the crunchy snow. I've now started a new project based around the last verse of a hymn and Christian symbolism. It's at the baby stage, but I'm thinking one of the hard things will be to try to pull it all together in an original, fresh, unstilted way. I'm planning to do a painting or print this time, so it should be less blood as no planned use of sharp implements, but I am sure there will still be sweat and tears! Will keep you updated.
