Simon Reece brings together lifelong loves and pastimes<br />
In 2008 some new clients approached me via Ian Smith at Falls Gallery in Wentworth Falls. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
interested in commissioning me to make sculptural pieces similar to ones that Ian and Anne owned,<br />
but they wanted them to be larger and able to be installed in their garden. <strong>The</strong> largest <strong>of</strong> the original<br />
Corridors was around 40 cm high; the clients were interested in pieces around 1.2 m high. I had been<br />
considering making larger environmental sculptures for some time and so it seemed an opportunity too<br />
good to pass up. It wasn't until I put down the phone that I realised I had no kiln capable <strong>of</strong> firing the<br />
work.<br />
