the model: process and progress

The model is underway - here are some images of the progress:



The trees shown above will serve as the backdrop for the model. I was unwilling to enter the site again, as the majority of what I have been working with comes from the assumptions made from the act of voyeurism at the fence. To replicate the row of trees that are on the site, I photographed some tress that were of similar size, shape, and in a similar topographical situation. Some photoshopping later, the result looks pretty similar to those on site.
The fence, in its third iteration, has been cut, stained, and assembled. The fence panels were treated with an acetone transfer of photocopies of images on the site. They were then washed with India ink and water.

The viewports have also been added: there are five separate areas, all which are being developed through the narrative. The architecture of the site will follow this progression.



I've mapped the sight lines through the viewports with string to establish the areas that can be seen through the lenses, and that will be developped architecturally.
