MARCH 2021

There was a lot of good weather in March.  Most of my efforts were focused on a large piece called "Awaken'.
When it was raining, I worked on this small garden sculpture called "Memory Flower".
It is Indiana Limestone and measures approx.  17" high x 24" x 13".
Here's the back view.  It will get a bottom portion soon - to raise it up another 18".
On March 10, Dereck Sheroan brought out JBB's 23 ton crane to move a bunch of heavy stuff for us.
We moved "Star Seed" and put it together with its base for the first time.
We reached out for a piece called "Awaken" and stood it upright..
We grabbed a 3,000 lb. corner and flipped it onto its side.  Then, we moved it over to the west side of the studio - where I work in the morning shade during hot weather.
This is a piece of (expensive!) scrap from a base commission.  We moved the base and this piece to make room for new projects.
We rolled "Darkest Before Dawn" upright - so that I could work the entire piece.
We set "Determination" onto its new base and moved it over by "Star Seed" and we also moved "Fruition" onto a base to the same area - basically away from where other pieces were getting carved.
We flipped the preformed functional sculpture "One Way or Another" upright.
Here's the other side - ready to be carved.
The large piece that was cut from "One Way or Another" was moved over to the west side of the studio where it will become a functional sculpture called "Go with the Flow".
Here's a partial view of the south side of the studio - stone EVERYWHERE!!! (...and I LOVE it!!!!)
