Anyway, I just wanted to share some photos of the pieces of sandstone sculpture that 12 of us (non-sculptors) did in August 2012. They have weathered beautifully - lovely green patinas.

i remember this project - how beautifully they have aged. how timeless. interesting, isn't it? how in art, craig and you all become immortal in this solid work. it remains to inspire and soothe... and the artist's spirit always remains within. a fitting tribute.
ReplyDeletei do so love stone - and have never forgotten something i learned about michelangelo - when referencing his 'slave' carvings, he felt he was releasing them. that they already existed within and he was merely freeing them. i've always wanted to experience stone carving for just that reason.
A lovely idea to donate these sculptures to your local council. They will make a memorable walkway. Peace, Barry!
ReplyDeleteHi MJ and C- thanks for your valued visit and comments. I'm off to spend Tuesday and Wednesday of this coming week to add more to my piece. As you say we now have an added dimension to our work knowing it will be dedicated to Craig. Whilst we are no Michelangelo we are releasing some simple tributes from the stone. Go well. B
