The Willow Tree at the Undercliff Vineyard WollombiI visited the Undercliff Winery in Wollombi in the weekend. I have posted some images of the willow tree here. I met the winery owner and he seemed hesitant about suspending any pbjects form the willow due to the narrow width of the boughs. The final sculpture will weigh approximately 60kg. I advised him that I would spread the load evenly across three or more boughs to avoid damage to the tree. I am keen on suspending it in the willow, however he also suggested a stand of three gumtrees to suspend from. I will have to wait and see what he and the curator say after they meet and discuss the work. The choice is a visual one for me, wither site will be the same in terms of the sounds found there. It is very quiet on the property and I am concerned that this may make the resonance of the object less pronounced. The stand of gum trees is closer to a driveway, which would mean there would be intermittent car sounds and wheels on gravel, offering a fairly wide frequency range of source sound. More thought is needed on this.

The Stand of Three Gumtrees at the Undercliff Vineyard WollombiI have also finished the main structure of the sculpture and have covered it in lime wash. Since then I have taken delivery of some of the rope and have started to play with the weaving for the installation. You can see images here.
