Barrier tape installation at Arreciado, Spain. I was thinking about boundaries purely as a concept, so each of these circles made new 'boundaries' in the air as the wind blew them into different shapes. The work became a kind of wind drawing. Associations include mouths or tongues flexing and stretching, animated, in conversation, talking and munching like people at a fiesta (my last memory of the place on my previous visit) or the happy sheep bleating and eating, munching all day long. The bright colours suggest a fiesta, dancing and also of the wild flowers of late spring, the colourful folk art painting on the farmhouse walls and the Guatemalan background of the owners.
