Return to Shetland………..I am back for one week to start the fabrication of the sculpture, it is also ‘Up helly Aa’ week which I shall talk more about later, so not a week for getting much work done as it is holiday and celebration time. I have a temporary studio for the week, a very cold ground floor space at the Lerwick Port Authority building. The week is mainly taken up with meetings, and visiting the site and just being here again, equally important, to bring the ideas, materials and models up to the site to see how they fit, with the light, the weather, the surroundings….. it is not the same being in Suffolk and trying to make a piece for the harbour in Lerwick. Here is the studio space.
