This started as a joke – just a
dark shed to simulate the total eclipse – but it got more elaborate. Will encouraged
me to add stars and Sarah Angliss produced a wonderful
soundtrack.
In its original form (see opening ceremony, bottom right) the door was normally closed and
you had to put the money in before it would open. But no-one dared to use it so I rebuilt
it with double doors, normally open.
Now on Southwold pier, people are still a bit reluctant to shut themselves inside
– but its worth it! Surprisingly delicate and atmospheric, much more subtle than my
normal creations.
