Neil and Kathy Ferber kindly introduced me to Dinah Voisin (pictured) who owns and runs Peralta.
Peralta is a hamlet in Tuscany that was bought and restored in the 1960s by famed hermaphrodite sculptor Fiore de Henriquez...that's her in the photograph behind us.
Here is the view from one of the terraces at Peralta...
...it is a breathtaking place. Fiore's studio is still intact and there are buildings dotted around the main house. It is truly idyllic. In October 2013, I will be teaching portrait sculpture here...see
Neil Ferber has a studio in the complex full of his compelling forms. Although he acknowledges a debt to Chillida, Neil's work has its own language which seems very personal.
Thank you Dinah for your hospitality and enthusiasm
