In early spring, before the Starn brothers re-opened Big Bambu to the public, our friend George (who is now running for City Council at Large and for whom everyone should vote) let us wander around the giant (former) Tallix space. I told him I wouldn't publish any of my pictures of the sculpture, and I hope the Starns don't mind my posting a couple snapshots from their studio. Above is a detail of this notepad:
And here's a detail of the ropes that the climbers use for climbing and to tie the sculpture together. You can see a little of the actual Big Bambu in the background:
Outside the Tallix building is pretty great, too. Here's a pallet on top of a marble base on top of a piece of plywood. So Beacon.
I think this lady got left behind:
One of the things we loved and still love about Beacon is its industrial past, and its grittiness. Especially on a cold, blue-light February day, this blue building and other structures looked very, well, blue:
And another thing we love about Beacon is the fact that our friend George can take us for a quick peek at a sculpture in progress by world-famous artists who just happen to be using Beacon for their project...pretty cool.
