It's been complete radio silence from me lately, but trust me I have been chipping away on several large projects. This pare will be installed at Kaiaua Fire Station in the near future. Counting down now for Niue with Mike Matchitt and co to work on collaboration with some Niuean carvers for the Lialagi Sculpture Park.
