The Shipping of Zadoq and Shim'on

The following photos describe the shipping of Zadoq & Shim'on out of the studio. This piece was being sent for installation at Florida State University. Here is Zadoq wrapped up and on a palate. | |
The bottom half of Shim'on is wrapped and boarded up. Notice the threaded steel rods where the rest of the piece will fit. It will be re-assembled on site. | |
These stone chips are from the original carving process of the piece. They will be spread around in a circle at the base of the sculpture. | |
Out in front of the studio, a shipping crew is contracted to load and haul the piece. The boulder here weighs about 5 tons! | |
The forklift carries Zadoq from his birthplace out into the world. | |
Ready to go. Under the black tarp at the front of the truck are the stone chips and the upper half of Shim'on. All 8 tons of this sculpture leave the studio as a resident of Berry Street looks on. The piece will be on display at Florida State University for the next year and a half. |
