Next week I will be posting the final artwork in the 52Artworks – A Year in Nature journey that I have been sharing with you, a significant point that marks what could be termed an end, but, as with most journeys along the path of life, it has rather become a milestone offering an opportunity to pause and reflect, and then to continue along the now altered route resulting from all the experiences during the past year that have shaped my future. Such is the story of life, for each segment of the trail does not stand alone, but rather forms a new foundation, and colours the contours for the next phase of life.
For as soon I have posted number 52, seven of the artworks will be carefully transported to the ‘Reds 4 Rescues’ event being held on Wednesday evening at Diemersfontein Wine Estate, just outside Wellington, an opportunity to display some of the work and share some of the stories. The ‘Reds 4 Rescues’ event is a Wellington SPCA initiative, where Reds stands for ‘red wine’, with more information being available at www.wellingtonspca.co.za.
The delay in posting number 52 has partially been due to an unusual week of many engagements, meetings and interviews outside of the studio, as well as my wish to end this series of artworks by rising to a real challenge of a final sculpture that will stand over a metre high and involves fairly complex form and balance. So, as long as it doesn’t fall on my head, next week will be the final posting of a sculpture in the 52 Artworks series. But the journey does continue…
