So here's Lancelot, with his broken leg. There was a string running through his back to hang from, but that snapped and gave me a valuable lesson about how fragility of papier-mache. Then another sculpture was also damaged, which made me rethink the process. Now I make a foundation with empty water bottles and old bubble-wrap; and since I cover the armature with newspaper, there's something nice about how much of my material is recycled. I remember that when I was shaping Lancelot's face, I was watching Hugh Jackman singing the role of Curly in a London production of Oklahoma; do you see any connection?
