Libby Watson - Set model boxes
I work better if I work three dimensionally rather than putting it in a sketch. I think directors respond better three dimensionally than giving them a drawing. As we know drawings can be very deceptive: they can make things look much bigger or much smaller than they really are. Although we are getting more into sort of computers and working in that way, I think the model will always feature in theatre design. I just think it's too organic, you know, so I think it will remain.
