Development of the Project at Swadelands:
Listening to recorded sounds created in the wood and developing these further
Group exercises with batons, developing sounds further

Discussing points of resonance on logs to be used in the sculpture installation
Discussing precisely how the sculpture would be made and individual ownership of constituent parts
General uses and qualities of materials - willow and processed materials, sustainability
Colour as a signifier of change and how other artists have used it

Disguise of the sculpture’s purpose and the notion of duality of purpose
Aesthetics of the sculpture. Surrealism. The stuff that dreams are made of.
Use of maquettes as models to help scaling up and developing a maquette individually
Physical building of the sculpture and painting it

Using "chants" to help rhythm and synchronisation
The making of willow charcoal and its use as a drawing medium
Rehearsing the performance with the finished sculpture
