The box has arrived, although it is not completed. Connie put the hinges in today. I put on 4 coats of polybond to seal the wood, apparently, medite "blows" badly when it gets wet. He is bringing the wheels tomorrow; and also doing a bit of adjusting to the door, as it is catching slightly.

Spent another day getting the space ready; sanding, painting etc. No sign of my box; mentioned it to Richard who said to ask Des as to the whereabouts of the elusive Connie; Des said he would send him up, he didn't arrive until the evening, only to say that he will bring it tomorrow. Had the camera and video booked out again today with the intention of getting some footage of the box downtown; hope he brings box early in morning.

Spent the day filling in holes and cracks etc. I know it is not a gallery setting that we have, nonetheless, we still want to try and have as good a finish as we can; the downside to this is that it is so time consuming. Connie has my box made, and was to call back for the mirror, which he never did. I had the video camera booked out for today, but was unable to make use of it because of not having got the box yet; I have it booked out for tomorrow again, I hope he can do it tomorrow morning; it is getting very late in the day now.

Went in Saturday too; just carried on getting the space ready. Not quite sure if it is appropriate for the students to be filling, sanding, and painting the studio spaces in ready for the degree show, as we have enough work to occupy our time. I have "appropriated" some more items. I cannot be too specific at this stage as I fear it be to the detriment of my position here at this point in time. When the time is right, I will divulge my dastardly plan (LOL in an insane madman type of way).

Started tidying up my alloted space; putting up a partition etc. Also in the process of taking all my accoutrements home.

Connie (not sure of his second name) has been appointed to make my sculptural piece. I have seen some of his work; it is of a very high standard, which is good to know; time is slipping by so fast now, really need to get it done without any holdups. Brought in the mirror, and have asked him if he will stick it to the box, to which he has agreed. Had a chat with about the specifics of the construction; he gives the impression that it is quite straightforward. Downloaded the video footage from Monday. I have to say that it was not really a success; it needs to be considered much more strategically, however, this will be good research. Have begun the process of taking all my materials home; our degree show spaces should be available tomorrow.

Sheets of mirror cut to size.
