Just a quick post on the progress of the wood carving, its proving to be a really fun process. I've managed to set myself up a nice little workshop and minus a few cut fingers everything is going swimmingly. Its actually becoming a quite symbolic process, every piece of wood I carve from the original solid piece is almost like a scratch or scuff on the 100 Club wall, floor and stage. Im sure the Club started off as a 'solid piece' but time has slowly chipped away at it leaving it how it is today, hopefully I can capture idea in my work.
My first carving that im working on is best described as a plaque designed to be mounted on the wall, I am aiming to highlight the dated charm of the club and touch on the fact that despite all its flaws and threat of closure it is still there.
