When it comes to a sculpture made of granite, 12 feet tall and over 5 feet wide; the decision to show the piece is as much a factor of logistics as aesthetics. This new piece by a young master stone carver fall squarely into a category called: "I like it but will it fit." We'll see.
(By the way the glowing balls are made from beautifully hand-carved marble.)
Bill Parker Hindsight Media is a charming videographer based in Massachusetts who specializes in intimate documentary films of people and small institutions. For my birthday, Sarah hired him to tell the story of us and our individual journeys that have now merged to become life here at Ten High Street. As envisioned, the video will include interviews not only with us but also with friends who are artists, collectors and curators.
Bill came up yesterday to start work. We had a terrific time with him. First, he sat us under hot lights doing an extended Q & A and then he wandered around our house and barns letting us point out things that held particular personal significance. All in all it was a fun and enlightening experience. Talking about ones life in front of a camera helps put things in perspective and the view, though somewhat disconcerting at times, is most certainly interesting.
Talented Mr. Parker will be back soon and the journey will continue. Stay tuned...
