ARTIST'S CHOICE

THE ARTIST’S CHOICE   The choice is only open to those who have time out of surviving, hence the multitude of amateur artists who flourish after retirement or have supporting partners earlier. Their choice is to do what they want, or what pleases other people and gets shown or sold. Fashion is important with the latter. Choosing to make a living out of any form of art is not easy, likely to be a poor choice literally.

This is a story of a choice.

Now, to make sense of this story please click the body of the little wooden horse on the book, If you don’t the images will not make sense.

The Tassis foundry in Athens enlarges the small Seahorses & casts it into bronze. A local marble rock is selected as a base.

The Tassis team, Vangelis and Stavros, bring it to Galapper Sands in Suffolk and set it up with local help.
