The Elevation Station @ 4.06pm

by Ruth Barker, 13 Jun 2009

Hello,
we’ve been very lucky and the rain has held off, and now we’re almost finished. The magestic height of the Elevation Station is surely a new landmark for the city of Dundee, towering as it does over the Mecca Bingo studded skyline. Well, almost towering above. It’s up there, at any rate.

The banners are looking pretty fine, too. Very stirring. ‘Teamwork Makes The Dream Work’ has been the motif of the day (a pearl of wisdom coined by Ashley, one of the participants), and it has, I feel, certainly held true. So long as the dream in question is of a big wooden platform on stilts, anyway. Emotive stuff.

I’ll post more later when I’ve had time to digest, but for now, I’m satisfied that a good job has been well done. Look out for a Reflection giving an account of the day, and we’ve taken some video footage as well, which I’ll put up on the Public Art Scotland You Tube channel, just as soon as I get the chance.

More later,
R
