On the way back from Arezzo, I stopped off to look at San Galgano, a ruined Cistercian abbey near Siena
.
Seeing the sky from the nave, my head craning through security railings, was spectacular. The monastery became an observatory.
In 2012, I was fortunate to receive the Mercer Award. This offers a 3 month residency at Studio Sem in Pietrasanta, Italy. The Award is designed to provide established sculptors, working in materials other than stone, the opportunity to discover the expressive possibilities of marble. This blog is a record of my time in Pietrasanta.
