When I lived in Boulder, CO several years ago, I had a studio in the upstairs of an old fire station. The pole that the firemen slid down when the fire alarm rang.was originally in my space.
In that dry Colorado climate I was able to create work in paper mache' that usually dried in a day.
Egg and Jewels was created in that dry environment using building construction materials, paper mache', silk flowers, beads and hardware cloth.
