Following a two-year collaborative process, I am intensely proud and happy to announce that the sculpture Equanimity will be completed this summer!

The town of Volterra has recognized the iconic and international character of the project and has granted the sculpture Equanimity official heritage status. Over the next few weeks I will be working with a team of artists and volunteers to assemble the 9 meter Equanimity sculpture on top of the beautiful hill at the Fattoria Lischeto.

We are expecting to complete the sculpture by the end of August 2010 and will celebrate this event with a festive opening in September. A formal invitation will follow once the exact date is set.

 Reflecting on the process by which this dream has come true, I would like to thank those of you who purchased a smaller equanimity for your support and confidence. In addition, I want to recognize the countless talks and ongoing encouragement from my colleagues, friends and all those touched by the symbolic impact of Equanimity. The collaborative nature of the project has symbiotically driven Equanimity from dream to completion. My thanks to all.

This is the address of the location where I am building Equanimity:

Everything I see and think is expressed through ceramic and bronze sculpture. In my work, I aspire to find a balance between smooth, finished shapes and rough spontaneous forms, while allowing the clay and wax to develop and express itself naturally.

I draw inspiration from everyday life and work with common themes such as love, freedom, and expressive with.
