Hi Ken,
Thank you for the photos of the marquette - they look good. Everything is moving alone now - have received all the money from the private property developers to run the symposium. Hard to believe but true. The contracts are still being nutted out with all the different departments - sorry. However I can tell you I have selected a beautiful piece of marble for you. Craig & I just returned last night from Cairns - we couldn't get out to Chillagoe because of Cyclone Nelson - roads are under some fast running water but the owner of Cairns Marble had some blocks in their work yard. Found a good block about 22 tons to be cut into 3 blocks to fit your sculpture along with Hew Chee Fong's and Luca's.
So next week another trip to Cairns after the roads open to get marble for Simona and a part of Fong's.
I'll talk to you soon,
Fiona
The project in Maroochydore is going ahead, carving four blocks of Chillegoe marble with 2 Italian sculptors and one other Aussie Hew Chee Fong. Cant wait to get into it. 2 x1 x1 metre blocks ll have to contact Kiktson to post the design and marquetts in the blog for this one. Have carved a One quarter size figure already out of Mount gambier Limestone. Ill be in Mount gambier at the end of March for the symposium there and taking the masterclasses with Sylvion Apponi in hard stone carving. This will be useful indeed. Drawing all the time at present.
