Concrete has to stay wet for five days. If it doesn’t, it cracks. In order to keep my piece wet, I created a temporary humidifier room. The frame is PVC and actually Curtis bought and built the pvc frame for me. It was a honey do project for him. And I am very grateful for all his help. Several years ago, Christine Medina created a plastic tarp to fit my frame. She creatively held it together with stickers from an exhibit in the old Rice Gallery. The last time I used it, the stickers fell off. As a result I have made a new plastic cover.

My new cover has red construction zippers that will allow me to peak in and make sure the piece is staying moist.

The next step is to get a strong board 24” X 48”  

to set in the the dolly and then set the bench on. - another honey do. The bench is from us both so I don’t feel guilty asking curtis to help out.
