Very soon after my website was
launched, I received an email from Shaikh bin Isa Al-Khalifa of
Bahrain asking me to do a sculpture of his champion, Headhunter.
I thought it was a practical joke from one of my friends. Thus
began one of my favorite sculpture experiences. I didn’t go to
Bahrain and the entire commission was conducted via photos and
email. Through our correspondences, however, I feel as if I know
Abdulla as well as if I had met him. He is a great gentleman,
and very passionate about his horses, I am much honored that he
put his faith in me, to him an unknown sculptor from halfway
around the world, to do this very important commission. More
importantly, I feel as if I can consider him a friend.
Experiences such as this are what help make my work so
fascinating. |
