The Blue Fort

Ive started to work on a new 3D piece-a childs play fort I bought in a local charity shop for a fiver. The fort was made in the sixties by a Bradford based toy maker. It is robustly made from thick plywood and was painted in mottled greys and greens. Some of its architectural detail reminds me of De Chiricos dreamy urban landscapes. Ive painted it a dark blue (using Dulux kitchen paint), and Ive added a print of Delft tiling to some of the floor spaces. The tiger seems to work well in this space. I dont know where this project is going...
