Fire at the workshop...
Catastrophe at the workshop, the worst nightmare...
Two nights ago, monday, a fire started in the middle of the night and burned down Haligon Fine Art Studio, the world renown workshop with which we had been collaborating hand in hand since the beginning of my journey.
The Haligon Family has participated in the construction of the Statue of Liberty and works with amazing artists such as Miro, Giacometti, and Niki de Saint Phalle.
My studio in Miami is right next door to Haligon Fine Art Studio and the collaboration between us is key to my work and success. Over the years I have become their most important client.
Unfortunately, Le Siffleur, the 7 meter Monumental Sculpture that we had been working on for 6 months was also destroyed by fire... Horror...
The sculpture was almost completed and was meant to be delivered in a few days...
This is a huge setback and tremendous hit for all of us...
As this fire is still fresh, we're trying to assess the situation and figure out what to do, while also picking up the pieces and cleaning up the workshop...
I know many of you have been following my journey from the beginning so I felt compelled to share this with you...
We are looking for solutions and thinking of setting up a funding campaign to help rebuild the workshop, and finish the monumental sculpture...
Please share and spread the word...
Thank you
