With the mural now completed, it’s a good time to reflect on the entire process and logistics from start to finish. With no doubt for me working with all the students was an absolute joy. Their work was divided into many small sections from in the classroom to a large space at the public works depot. Close to three tons or porcelain clay, over fifty kiln firings and five months to assemble the work, it all finally came together in the seven week installation. Thank you again the mayor and staff of the Borough of Allendale, all the principles, teachers and students from the three schools in Allendale for organizing your schedules so we could bring this extraordinary project together.

The final stage of this wonderful commission, now crated and arriving in Qatar this week. Thank you for being able to work at Tre Luci studio, many wonderful friendships were made.

The time spent on the finishing details of a marble sculpture can take just as long as it did to remove and shape the work. Then all of a sudden it’s there but not before asking a little bit more here and there.
In the last stages of this small sculpture unless it tells me otherwise.

Happening in Pietrasanta today my new block of marble being cut for a commission which I'll start in September. This is always an exciting moment, anticipation, the pending birth of a new work soon to start.
