I went out to the end of the point to try out a box for making columns, I wanted to see whether I could make a column out of sand as I had previously done with earth. It failed, but at least it kept me warm and busy.
I packed everything into the van and went to explore the ruined military buildings scattered around the point. There were some interesting rooms full with sand and as I had my shovel I was thinking about doing some digging.
It would be great to excavate one or two of these rooms and then place something in the spaces. Security is an issue however. I had spoken to Andrew about this before and he had said it would not be a problem as long as we could put a metal gate on the entrance to stop people leaving rubbish inside.
More investigation is needed, perhaps?

In the afternoon I went beach combing for sea coal and drift wood. I was struck by the different coloured stone and the possibility of doing something sculptural with them.
The wind picked up and as the tide came in I had to watch my back as the occasional wave would rush right up to me with some force. As I left the point I picked up some large iron railway fixings Andrew had in storage. I will take them back to the Studio in Hackney and live with them a little before deciding what it is that I want to do with them.
