Rules and Reactions
As I have already mentioned there are undetectable rules that somehow get verbally passed through the halls of elsewhere. But even with these rules (that are necessary for some sort of order) people place more stringent ones upon themselves. For example, Cameron is working on a book project…he is typing (on an old school typewriter) all the text from books he randomly selects from our vast library which has been underlined. Each book is a chapter. I just love that there is a challenge, a mission in most projects that are floating through elsewhere. Nothing is simple.
I began to collect the fabric that will be the replica of the walls and finished one wall today. The 10 layers that are making up the 'fabric wall' serve as patches or remake portions of the wall. This will be the meat of the work. It will take layers and layers to get the same effect as the walls but I like the challenge. This will help sharpening my skills in pattern making, fitting and also making fabric into life layers. It makes sense that would be followed by treatment of the floors and ceiling as well.
