I have completely lost control of my final project. I felt it slipping out of my control so I tried to bull forward to produce something but I have nothing. I did discover a way to relate the taper of the building to the planter by implying the point by creating a type negative of negative space. Using where the planes would cross and then pointing the structure toward the building, it easily allows the planes of the building to be lined up with the base for the sculpture. Unfortunately the triangular base would have to be 8 feet long, due to the slower tapering of this building, in order to get the same width for the base of the triangle that I had for the other buildings. The major problem with the sculpture was glue. I have tried 5 different glues in my attempt to finish the project on time. I went on line to investigate glues and purchased the ones I could locate. I could not find one that won an award at a recent national hardware trade show, touted as the greatest thing since duck tape. I have spent more than 20 hors on the project in the last 3 days and have nothing to show. Best glues are carpenters glue and gorilla glue. Both take 24 hours min. 3M 77 seemed to work but the pieces fell apart under the stress of manipulation. I wanted to add to the project as I worked it. Even though the 3M 77 was claimed in independent on line articles to work on Styrofoam it still dissolved the foam. I hate this material. I cannot stand the feel of it. Double frustration! I knew I was pushing my abilities (knowledge) and I was way too big in my ambitions for my knowledge base. It was fun for a while until everything kept falling apart and the more I hurried the more it fell apart. I have spent over $200 and will be short till next Friday. Last night I wished I could cry about it but was just depressed. I gave up after midnight Saturday and have no clues now. The whole shape turned into something I cannot relate to what I had in mind because of changes I made to get anything done. I was very anxious to represent 2 interacting objects and ended with crap.

For me this project, while fulfilling as a model of two sculptures, seems unfinished without the plaza or center  of interaction between these twin sculptures. I would like to design a plaza for this spot as the joining. The twin lights acting as sentinels for a wheel plaza like an unfinished space station that generates its own gravity by slowly spinning. Of course a plaza could not spin, but spoke like structures radiating from a central hub and corresponding to natural passages between buildings and walkways could anchor this auxiliary busy-spot.

 I enjoy the light reflections in these 2 pictures; it looks like a person made of light dancing.
