A couple of years ago my friend and fellow sculptor, Steve Piper, said he had been commissioned to make a sculpture of an Easter Island head or Moai. He wondered if I thought he should take it. I did think he should do it, but I thought the price he was to be paid was too low for the amount of work he was going to have to put into it.
He took the commission, first producing a small clay model, then a quarter scale wire frame version to get his sizing right. If you want to see a short clip of the production process, let me know and I will email you the file. I have had trouble loading it into this blog entry.
Wednesday he finally got it moved and set in place.
It’s pretty cool. Where is it?
