Well this piece was working well (look at the last photo) and then I knocked it over. The head sustained damage and the balance was all lost, there was only one thing to do, and that was to go at it with the chisels.
All is not lost and reflecting back I was not upset by what happened, maybe it was meant to go this way to challenge me. Many years ago I was so uptight that if an accident like this happened I would have gone in to a right strip, now it doesn’t seem to bother me.
In fact it seems to have added more tension to this piece. The head looks mauled and unfinished, as if it was discovered by a future civilisation and assembled in to an abstract form of man.
As I said before it embodies the past, present and future.
