Packing: 3.5 cubic meters of fragile bone china
Packing begins in earnest early on Thursday morning. We have several staff advise us over the weeks to set out to pack 76 extremely fragile panels. Nothing has prepared us for the monumental task, nor given us confidence that our strategy for packing will provide safe passage.
We plunge forward, gaining confidence, methods and a reasonable progression toward completion. We leave behind all the offering bowls I’ve made, and multiple panels. At 3AM, we take multiple seconds panels to the trash receptacle. A cathartic activity after the stress of uncertainty, fatigue, endless meters of bubble pack and tape.
