Art Canal Exhibition 2002

This exhibition was held during Expo 2002 Switzerland. 25 Swiss artists were invited to exhibit and 25 works were chosen from applications by Swiss born artist living abroad. The work had to be site specific e.g. to be positioned alongside a waterway (canal) and bear some representation of the artists adopted culture. My work The Journey was the only one chosen from Africa. The 4 metres high stainless steel structure is covered with ceramic panels, fired to 1220 degrees in an oil kiln.
I need to decide now what to do with the sculpture which is presently in storage in Switzerland and plan to make the final decision to ship it back to S.Africa or abandon it when I will be there in October. Not easy....
