With 6 weeks left to dry, fire and instal ECOS in 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.

The sculpture that links Stone Age axes to the cli 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.

Decided it’s time to make the cut. Sawed through 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 !?!?!?….
