Angels in the Attic









This is Martin Foot's
sculpture studio.


Richard, a friend of mine in Pietrasanta, is an intern for him in the Summers, so I was given a tour of the attic above his studio where majority of his dust-covered sculptures stand- everyday bathed in sunlight through the large pane windows.

A Sculptor's Workplace



Pietrasanta is well-known for it's marble quarries as it gets it's marble from up in the mountains.
My Grandmother goes up to Tuscany every year to sculpt in marble so I was able to see the inside of a sculptors community and meet some interesting people.

MY BIKE


This is the bike I rode in Forte Dei Marmi, Tuscany when I wanted to get around.
There is a long bicycle path along the main road to Pietrasanta which I rode when I wanted to go out for the night, crash at a friend and then come back early for work- 45 minutes a trip. Part of it is a narrow winding path that runs through the forest which is quite charming.
