The old Tugboat

Life

Veteranship:
The old tug boat ”Bjørn” has been situated in the inner harbour in front of the old shipyard in Elsinore, for a number of years. It has been build up piece by piece by a group of enthuthiasts.
The leader of the building team thinks the team will be ready with the restauration next year in august. At that time “Bjørn” will be a 100 years old. The old steam machine is tested and proved working.

Lack of paint on my window frames has made the frames suck a lot of rainwater and because of that they´ve grown out op proportions. I could hardly open any of them. Had to use an electric planner to down size them again. Now they run smoothly

. Now I´m scraping and scraping and scraping loose paint of. Hope I can ground them and paint them and make a nice finish on them this weekend. It´s old coubled frames with single layer glas in every frame. When I really want to polish all the windows I have 62 surfaces to take care of

But it´s amazing that the construction has an extremely high thermo value

My endwall is app. 75% glass and still I don´t have to turn a lot of heat on during winter. The apartment is warm enough

It´s nice to do something outside. The much work with my painting inside, made me smell like an old sofa

Drinking water

Monday, 25. August 2008, 09:53:52

Life

My holyday has started. I´ve been extremely busy at work and 90% of my focus has been there last week.
Now I got time to relax completely and think about simple and yet important things

This morning I was amazed by our necessity of water. I live in a part of the world..in a society where you just have to turn a knob, or press a button and the clearest running water, pours out of the tap.
The water of Elsinore tastes really good. There´s a lot of taste in it. The content of calcium is quite high, but the c. carries the taste. The taste is best if you drink it, not too cold mmmhh

Upright fruit bowl

I´ve been a little bit sad because I´ve had to cancel my fruitbowl. A swerm of small flies rose fromthe grapes

I saved the apples and the bananas and the oranges..but the grapes had to go. I eat a lot of fruit, but i also like to look at the fruitbowl and its content. The colours and the forms of the fruits. The bowl is a sculptural pleasure to watch. But now I have to put my fruite in the fridge, so it wont go bad too soon.
To satisfy my eyes I made this Upright fruit bowl out of a big vase, coloured rubber balls and shiny metal balls. The naturel qualities of the pieces of fruits exellent shapes and sharp colours and reflexions are tried reconstructed. For me, the visual satisfaction has returned

And I can still eat fresh fruit from the fridge

Moving closer

Wednesday, 20. August 2008, 21:14:30

Life

As I promised in my latest post, I´d move closer to the mysterious floating museum.
I did! Today!

It was strange to walk down the landing and on to the floating museum. I think the main purpose with this museum was a physical way to show the viewer that there are litterally other perspectives. There was an opening at the end wall so you had an exellent view over the water surface...very beautiful
There has been a lot of modern construction- and building sites along the waterlines and harbour fronts in Copenhagen. Offices and appartments made of steel and concrete and glass.
Protests are beginning to surface against the use of the empty spaces along the water at the harbours and canals.

The floating museum was surrounded by poster boards telling the stories about a project protesting against - and surgesting alternative use of the area.
