Putting the sculpture straight up
Today I've been busy with internal transport. That's a fancy word for 'moving things around with a pump trolley and a shop crane'. Carved a little less in stone, then, and hoisted the sculpture upright . It was windy, and it was actually pretty tense to be in this weather and put that sculpture up all alone, but it all went smoothly. As expected, otherwise I would of course not have started it. But it's well fixed; I've welded an anchor so I could attach a brace to the floor . No movement possible!
But if such a sculpture is in an upright position, then 2 metres 30 is quite tall! It still looks very solid now. There will be a number of openings, but I keep all of those for later-first of all the shape has to be right. I can already see things I 'm going to change. In any case it's nice to be able to walk around it and see things at a distance.
