RETRO
SCULPTURE PROPOSALS
In the process
of working on the POINT 7 Castle and Sculpture Garden in 1979 and
80 two unrealized sculptures, OLD GUARD and PAN were designed for
the project. Then funding was halted before the bronzes could be
made.
After consulting
with Fayetteville Parks Department Personal and receiving initial
positive response in early autumn of 2004 I recreated the two figures
as scale models to be cast in bronze.
I also began
the Gargoyle head, now cast in bronze and installed in the dam at
POINT 7. The Gargoyle is my personal donation to the Fayetteville
City Parks Department to replace the original ceramic version that
was destroyed by vandals shortly after the castle dedication in
1980.
There are molds
of the models with waxes ready to cast in bronze for OLD GUARD and
PAN at my Moscow studio.
My hope is that
there will be interest in creating these sculptures at full scale
to be included in the POINT 7 Castle and Sculpture Garden in the
not too distant future.
I sincerely hope
there is interest in this retro project. It would be a meaningful
enhancement of the POINT 7 project which I began in 1979.
