In conversation with Richard Cork at the Shinning Light Centre
Juame (pronounced Jow may) spoke about the ideas for the project,his passion for the face as our face to the world.The hope that a young face brings for the future and the face model 'Anna' who forms the neutral girl from anywhere in the world face.Why the sculpture faces to the sun to get the maximaum illumination and how the sculpture will require little and inexpensive cleaning over it's 120 yr life expectancy.Like a miner emerging from the pit to face the sight of the world - "When light becomes a dream!"
