With 6 weeks left to dry, fire and instal ECOS in time for the #ashburnerprize @stonelanesculpture gardens in Devon, I’m delighted to say that the piece is finally built. Still some scary bits of the process to go, not least cutting it into sections to transport to a kiln that is large enough to fire it, but it’s a huge relief to see it at this stage 😊. Thanks for the music track, Youth, to @iksonmusic.

Sculptural and musical dilemmas as drying and firing deadlines loom for #sculptingECOS for the #ashburnerprize competition. Check out previous vids if none of this makes sense.

The sculpture that links Stone Age axes to the climate crisis and hope for the future, but how to tell that story in clay? That’s what’s on my mind today.

Less than 3 months to deliver the most ambitious outdoor sculpture I’ve done. 5000 years of history in one piece.. all starting from a stone age axe head. Will share the story as it happens. Here’s how it began ..

Decided it’s time to make the cut. Sawed through to leave the little spacers in place. Now it can dry better and is in kiln-sized chunks for firing. Will it ever go back together !?!?!?….
