It was Summer of 2021 and I was feeling good about my progress. I thought I was close to completion as I had successfully created the 7 ft tall Being I was tasked to make.
“Not quite” I was told. “The project in its entirety will include 50 sculptures of various sizes, with 30 of them at 7 feet tall. This will be a global traveling exhibit, to reach as many people as possible, to visually spread the message of Oneness with All, as Citizens of the Light. This work will speak to all religions, all colors, all shapes, all genders – ALL of humanity!”
“Are you willing to keep taking it on?”
What?!?!
For a while I was stunned, shocked!And then I said…. “Yes!”
I told Francisco, my foundry partner, the scope of this project as was described to me, and after his initial shock, we engaged in think-tanking about the best way to accomplish it.
We thought best to have a total of 6 different molds for the 7’ tall pieces to give us enough variety to end up with a large group of unique sculptures. By May 2021 we had 15 small and medium size molds and only 1 giant one. I needed to get to work.
