Stolen Sculpture!

"Where's your black panther?" said a friend this morning looking around the garden. I looked across into the wooded area alongside the road and - no panther. This is a life-size black resin sculpture I made some years ago which I am very fond of.
That's when I realised it had been nicked. This is not the first time I've had work stolen- the other occasion was a vcr/tv and tape from a gallery. But at least I could claim on the insurance and go out and buy another telly. As it was a digital work I still had the mastercopy.
But sculpture is different. It's a one -off.
The police were quick off the mark and two arrived within an hour taking statements etc. Maybe it will turn up on e-bay......

SIBOS -Atlanta

Well, my little seahorse video is certainly getting around!.... I filmed it in The Shedd Aquarium in Chicago (www.sheddaquarium.org ) a few years ago while on an international student exchange to the School of the Art Institute.(www.artic.edu/saic/) It was one of the films I showed recently in the Mission gallery, Swansea and while there I met Sue Foley of Peter Evans, (www.peterevans.com) the software company specialising in web security.
She asked if they could use the video when they go to SIBOS in Atlanta this month. Now I must confess I had never heard of SIBOS - international annual conference for the world's financial sector.
I understand the video will be shown on a plasma screen and there will be over 5,000 delegates. Phew!...my wee digital fishes are certainly seeing the world.( I tweaked them with some digital effects).
