We went to the metal workshop and decided to change the initial idea of using metal pipes to cuboid rods, as this would better fit the angular form of the letters. The metal was cut and welded, now only what is left is to produce the molds for the concrete slabs.

We decided to make a scale model of our proposed installation. This helped us discover the problems that needed to be addressed such as the creation of the shadows. A base needed to be added to the pipes so that the shadows are able to be cast onto the wall and not the floor. So we have decided to embed the pipes into concrete slabs.

Our initial idea is to create a piece using metal pipes in a form that will create a shadow on the wall depicting the letters CPO. We thought the metal would symbolise the industrial sites that surround our area of investigation

Today we started to collate our photographs of the site together and brainstorm idea on what type of installation we would like to produce. Our main inspiration came from the photographer Richard Moose who used a colour infrared film so as to create a new perspective on conflict. So we edited our images to mimic his style.

The last four remaining houses we initially discovered to have been on the CPO site in Clayton had recently been demolished. Although this was not what we were expecting, it produced the opportunity for some excellent observation for such a derelict site. We photographed and collected found objects in the vicinity.

The first day of the Events started with research into CPO sites in East manchester. My group discovered an area on Eccleshall Road which had four remaining houses that protested against their demolition, creating an eery scene. To further our research into Clayton, we went to the central library to look into Manchester's archives.
