Today, Sister Giovanna,
Teresina and Cincia appeared at the Factory, they came with Roberto, the
artigiani at Petacci, to look at his current work (he is copying Michelangelos’
Pieta) . I instantly thought, only in Italy things like this happen…
The good sisters were a
bit confused about my sculpture, as they are used to see mainly figurative work.
We
had a good conversation about my ideas and I hope, they
will put a good word in with him upstairs, things have not been as straight forward
with this sculpture as I hoped for ...
I have been working the
sculpture over with my wet polishers, a messy and uncomfortable, but highly
effective method to get a great finish...
