February 2013.

It is deep winter on our hillside, Italy. The land is wet and frozen, the horses coats grew thick. As the temperature drops further, Sam lights his furnace to smelt a pot of bronze. As he pours the liquid gold, it feels as if we’ve slipped back through the centuries to the first time someone cast bronze on a mountain, and what a miracle that must have been! 
Snow begins to fall. The horses head for shelter and Sam cuts facets from aqua marine mirror. From this raw winter landscape a glinting work emerges. 

Filmed on an iPhone4, the smallness of which brings me closer to Sam’s work and all that is here.
