Big Ben Memorial

Starting the project

1) starting the project

2) building the form

3) creating detail, casting

4) the unveiling

Tony Hendriks of Perth, Eric Knoespel of Artcast and Stewart worked for weeks to find a pose and structure that would best recreate Ben's soaring power. They settled on a photo from the archives of Shawn Hamilton, one of Big Ben's official photographers. Stewart carved a small model from the photo and superimposed various photos of it onto 3d models of various jumps to find a structure to support Ben and Ian.
