3rd of June

I wanted to put a post up about something that came up last week and i didnt take about it here but i think now i will. When the gate was first assembled by me and ben i got few opinions off some of the people who i respect the most. Ambrose, Adrian, Tony and Paul Allen.

The first opinion i got was Ambrose, ive always respected what he says because i have similar ideas to him. He said he needed to lose some and it was too crowded all over. So i took half the blades off and i was starting like it but it lost something at the bottom i wanted. It had the freedom at the top but it wasnt thick and blocky at the bottom like i wanted.

Then Adrian came round and said to me put them all back on him and come get when there all there. When it was laid out like above Adrian really liked it and said that was the way it should stay. To me it was good it was just that top bit that really put me off. So i fiddled around with it playing with ideas.

After a while Tony came across and i laid out the debate to him and he said why not get the best of both worlds and chop down the leaves at the top to make a more a layer like look to it. We spoke a bit more and this was what really turned me on with this peice. 

So i drew on where i needed to cut them then went to the grinding room and got to work.

This was the scene after the hair cut. I think i cut around 20 or so down. After they were put back on the gate it really did make a big differance to the look. I will talk more about the look in my Evaluation later.
