Now this is going somewhere, in the gallery with an intent of charging the room. The goal is to make the catapult hurl an object at a target and therefor must function at a high level. The construction of the machine must be such that it does not stress too much under pressure, that includes the artist too.
Gerard Burke has helped in turning the wood for the hammer pin. He has also fashioned a wind turbine out of wood that looks absolutely fantastic. He has used camphor laurel wood with an oil finish. We are going to perform an action in the gallery that will surely be surprising and fun.
