    Ice Shells Casts made from Light racing boats (Shells), and boats made from ice cast. Using the facilities and personnel of the University College of London Boat Racing Club. The moulds will be Rtv silicon rubber. The shells, including oars and some workable solution to rollicks, will be cast in an industrial freezing works, insulated, and then transported to the upper Thames on boat trailers. They will then be raced together by crews until each sinks. I anticipate floating time to be about 15 minutes, but it could be hours. A film maker will provide footage of all aspects of the event, especially the racing. Original drawings lost, images photocopied. Project instead centred around making and playing a trumpet out of ice.
