Work and Play

My recent model of a school in Kashmir  was brough to life by including children at their lessons and at play.  The roof of the model featured a cut-away glazed panel to allow a view into the second floor classrooms. The large chairs and round tables came from a Chinese supplier as did some of the figures. The classroom chairs however, were handmade. Posters on the walls were copied from photographs of the actual school.

To animate the exterior scene and add a splash of colour, swings and slides were installed. These too were handmade; from rods and strips of styrene joined with solvent and super glue.
