'I carried the sculpture from Sydney to Copenhagen without opening the package sent by you from Melbourne, so essentially sight unseen. Opening it in the photographer's studio 16,000 km's away, days after arrival, was akin to opening a vault. It was amazing to lift it out of its travel case and feel the lightness and to see the delicacy in the detail. All crew in the room were speechless.'
