The ice is starting to melt……well, actually not too much ice this winter, but the very few ice we had, is starting to melt, and is time to look forward.

Now is time to think to new projects… time to fish for new ideas, which is really difficult when you have to….time to make new maquettes.

The maquette making is always funny and risky in the same time. I start with an idea, a drawing, and when i have the piece of wood in my hands, my chisels are like drived by some kind of instinct. Even if I am trying to make something totally new, at the end, the final result has always some remind to  my old shapes, my background. Of course, is a new idea, but some textures, some movements that i like….for me impossible to forget! And the maquette is the real original work. The big monument, even if I have sometimes to adapt to big scale, is always a copy of the maquette.

In this moment I am working on some projets for the next summer, all around the world.

Next time I will tell you where I want to go to make them!
