‪Well another day and another funding application towards #OnTheCornerBeeston has gone in. Applications 6,7 and 8 should be in by the end of next week. 3 successes, 1 failure and 1 pending so far. Regardless, work on each aspect of project is well underway #HenryMooreGrants ‬

A morning spent organising work ahead of next week’s @_indexfestival @ysi_2019 related projects.
Previous project not even down yet as new one goes up. SO ahead of the game on this one.

Sitting in Holbeck whilst number one skateboards. Welcome break from the computer. Interlude before my next book proper - Create Dangerously by Albert Camus

And so work continues on Jacob’s Ladder our 6.5tonne / 8ft high sculpture for #southleeds by artist / stone carver Keith Ackerman.

After a successful test carving two weeks ago and a session marking out - see earlier posts, it is time begin for real.

Keith Ackerman: Testing the stone on a small scale before we supersize #jacobsladder #publicsculpture #southleeds for #onthecornerbeeston #southleedslife

‘On The Corner’ will be a series of four events that will directly respond to the YSI 2019 statement proposed by the artist Phyllida Barlow: ’Sculpture is the most anthropological of the art forms’ and the idea that ‘there is a basic human impulse to make and connect with objects.’ As part of this project, in which I juggle four different projects and have them all land at once, I found myself at a quarry with artist Keith Ackerman and taking an active role with mallet and chisel in marking out Jacob’s Ladder.
This project is supported by Index Festival, #henrymooregrants Leeds Art Fund
