The canopy was finished at 4:30 in the morning, the stage was painted at 8 in the morning. I did some last-minute promo at 10 and picked up some flowers and some treats.
I had a conversation with Tarver earlier in the week: "At worst, the canopy can just be tacked on." "Alright" said I "But it's your work that'll look like crap." "Ouch" said Tarver. "You're talking my language."
As it turned out, the canopy is gorgeous. The Sydney Opera House has its sail, and we have ours. I can't believe it's taken me this long to realize that Tarver is an artist. He's a very meticulous, very rigorous, very structurally-minded artist whose medium is not quite architecture, not quite furniture, not quite sculpture.
