You should! The next one will be in 2011 and you can find out more of the details as they become available here:http://www.schoodicsculpture.org/home.html

It's really amazing watching them over the course of just a few weeks transform huge chunks of rock into something beautiful. Let me know when you're planning on coming to Maine.

Very impressive. Thanks also for all the background info, Traveller.

Well, Darn! Thank you, Kelly....that was a nice link....but also maybe demonstrates the difficulty in shooting three dimensional art with a 2 dimensional medium such as photography.....I would have liked to have seen it in person.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Thanks for the information Traveller - what an amazing church!

Too bad the sculpture also attracts spray paint!

The area that I live in hosts a sculpture symposium with artists from around the world chosen to participate. Here are a few shots from the last one:

It is a huge piece of sculpture....L'écoute by Henri de Miller, (listen)...70 tons large.

It is really very hard to to shoot because there are almost always hundreds of people crawling on it. It...invites people to touch and participate. Oddly effective.
