Thunderbolt Museum "Before"

This is the Thunderbolt Museum. I have a job designing the interior. We are building mobile walls (on casters) first. Then we will start making displays and exhibits. I recommend this site, if you're interested in the history of this colonial town, which grew up beside Savannah:

Walls at the Museum

These are the "After" pictures of the interior of Thunderbolt Museum. The walls are mobile, hollow, and some accordion to create angles. Still working on displays!

Getting the habit

I've gotta start using this thing regularly, so even though I don't have any new pix (camera's got problems) I'm including updates. The big weekend news was S-GulpFest Aug 5 on Hutchinson Island. Progress was made in the central area, with a hole being covered near the old Ode to a Puddle sculpture. It is interesting to see which sites have remained intact, since there have been some pretty good storms in the 7-8 months since the flurry of activities by the Sculpture Park Coalition. And that's not taking into account the 4-wheelers. The post and lintel Bjerklie "signature piece" was slowly dismantled by them, at first forming a gate at the top of the ridge, where I've heard they would drive up and once "went vertical in the air." The perhaps 20ft high fin shaped Kofke sculpture is amazingly untouched , as well as Mr. Lord's animal-like work on the vine behind it. The bluff sites are looking more degraded, but each retains a significant visible element. Other works are in progress. The area is not as overgrown as it was earlier this summer, but the 4" banana spiders and threat of snakes and gators is still deterrent in some areas. Fest ended with gloriously hot BBQ in the sandpit- vegetable kebabs, burgers, dogs and chicken, impressively cheffed by Justin and Nesi. Will revisit Hutch this weekend.

Set up

It's August 2, and I am starting this online journal to document my work in New York this Fall. Right now I am still preparing for the trip, but I will try to get some interesting stuff up soon. This is a test entry
