John Greer / The Sirens’ Calling, 2020
Pietrasanta, Italy
December 2020
Despite a global pandemic we had an eventful year 2020, crossing the Atlantic three
times. As our name suggests, Intercontinental Sculpture has two places to call home:
East LaHave, NS, Canada and Pietrasanta (LU) Italy. This first issue of our in touch magazine
has been a brainchild of mine for a number of years. It will start as an online and/
or digital version with our first edition, but my heart is set to eventually print it, too, in a
small paper edition.
In touch Intercontinental Sculpture is an effort to stay connected with those that may
care of what John Greer and myself have going on. We both are pushers and don’t wait
too long when a good idea goes through our collective heads.
In this first issue winter 20/21 I am including five features mostly in English, but a bit of
Italian, too. Starting with new sculpture by Vanessa for on form 2020 in England, the
Shield and the Bestia Umana (Horned Being). The installation of The Siren’s Calling at
Queen’s Marque in Halifax, NS finalized our first and hopefully not last public work for
this exciting new development at the waterfront, all documented by our friend and colleague
Raoul Manuel Schnell. I included also an update on the construction of our custodian
apartment at Studio Paradiso.
John’s ongoing series of work dealing with value systems was something on my mind
these days and I am trying to offer you an overview and insight into his thinking. Last,
but not least you get to see images of our foundry visit at Polich Tallix Foundry in Upstate
New York at the end of January 2020 in order to sign off one set of these photogenic
Sirens.
I truly hope you enjoy this magazine because I poured my heart into it, trying to make
our life and art a bit more transparent and hopefully also engaging.
Yours truly,
Vanessa Paschakarnis
