Great news - Antarctica!

We have just learned from the Antarctica New Zealand CEO that we have been selected to go to Antarctica this coming season. Fine Line has been our creative journey for nearly 20 years so it is a huge milestone for us and our project.

We will fly to Scott Base at McMurdo Sound, and make the 10th sculpture on the Fine Line project that Philippa and I began in 1995.

Gaining the support of Antarctica New Zealand will provide not only access and logistical resources in Antarctica and on the Ross Ice shelf but also connection to the scientific research taking place there that is so significant to the world's understanding of climate change and biodiversity.

It means that we can plan to make the last two sculptures on the Fine Line around the earth, one on a Pacific Island and the last where we made the first on the summit of Mt Ngauruhoe in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand. This will complete the line encircling Earth.

We will now be seeking project partners and collaborators in art/science, publishing and multi media communications who have the expertise and resources to contribute to making the Fine Line project outputs a force for global understanding and change.
