Artist Studios - House The Dome

Sile: Have been speaking with Irish company who supply security mirrors regarding the coating. Am still cross referencing with company in Australia to establish if a polycarbonate mirror will work the same as polymer coated acrylic mirror. Still awaiting response.

Have been doing alot of phoning and email around Artist Studio spaces to try and secure studio space and some exhibition space for May 2008. Some obviously have a lenghty residency selection program with loads of paper work, but some are surprisingly easy to secure.

Very positive feedback from the curator for Red Stables in St Annes Park regarding an exhibition of our installation in May, but not for studio space as their studios are too small to facilitate a 15ft Dome!
