The time has come to start removing the unused materials and start piling them up outside the space. The bulk of the initial pile is hanging on the walls in the space; only scraps of paint, wire and paper remain. With the time lapse still rolling, the image starts to reverse itself, with the works emerging from the debris. This stage is particularly exciting ( which is lucky because i'm starting to get sleepy again . . .) Two hours left !

Exciting times! My drawing experiment ( pictured above) is installed and ready to go ! After a brief chat about setting up work, spacing and time use we are almost on the home straight. But then again, this space is rather filthy. Could be a long night of sweeping and mopping . . .
An inquisitive Eddy ponders his fanzine stand.


Only two radio DJ's to go then we're out of here, should probably tidy a bit first. Got a desk in this morning, just in time!
I hesitate to say it but the end is slowly but surely coming into sight. Everybody is still busy but the space is transforming more into a gallery. The initial masses of material are disappearing and re-emerging as experimental and exciting works. There's even been time for a bit of tidying up!
Hannah continues to make her light and airy origami objects. The pile is getting rather substantial . . .
Eddy is constructing a fanzine holder from the spare wood and extras left over following the majority of the work. The construction will be a help-yourself style bucket, with a donation pot at the side.
Drawing during the night shift led to some colourful and chaotic consequences.

Jessamy: 13 hours to go, things are starting to look more presentable. I was planning to catch the sunrise, which was at 6.35 am, but unfortunately on the east side of the building are locked studios, so the light did not reach me. The room I was in was so quiet and empty with minimal light, very different from the main space we have been in where there are strips of florescence white lights and eight other people to weave in and out of. Feeling a bit claustrophobic with all the materials on the floor, walking through the room is such an effort. But we now have a table which is greattttttttt!!!!!!!! 
Becky thinks its Thursday not Friday - she’s lost it.

Jazz FM is a relief after two days of Ed Sheeran and The Foo Fighters (crossed with Go Compare & Autoglass advert (they've got a new catchphrase, but that's by the by) ).

There are currently more tripods than people in the room, over and out.



It's almost midnight of day 2 and things are beginning to appear on the walls! The day has been busy with work making, spurred on by numerous tea breaks and radio 6. The pressure's on the final day of 60 hours approaches.
