Rincon de Ademuz Sculpture Biennial,
Spain
Diane’s sculpture was selected for the Rincon de Ademuz Sculpture Biennial.
In May we drove to Spain with Chris Butler
the Director of Castle Fine Art Foundry, to the village Arroyo Cerezo where
the sculpture was to be installed.
During the week Phil fixed the work
into the walls of an old building in the
centre
of the village, whilst Diane made more
faces in wax for Chris to cast into
bronze. Seven faces had previously been cast at Castle Fine Art Foundry.
Eventually twelve faces were
installed, eleven
bronze and one glass (cast by
Jackson Fawkes).
The hospitality in Spain was wonderful. The Rodilla family from the village have become special friends. They had helped Phil two years ago when he and Chris built the horse sculpture in the same village.
The final weekend, when many of the participating sculptors turned up, was great fun. We were all treated to lovely food and trips out to see the many sculptures that were placed throughout the region.
On the final day Chris did another
bronze
casting to demonstrate the process, and he was presented with a special
prize at the prize giving event too.
