"THIS IS A CALL FOR HELP as I am the "Morrisseau Sculptor" living and working in Stratford, Ontario and for the past 8 years have produced 5 monumental works of art that honour Morrisseau - not yet cast into bronze. You may see his portrait, at YouTube Video Morrisseau Portrait - SPECIAL EDITION - 2015 (see above); the other works are "Spirit Presence at the House of Invention", "Ancestral Shaman", "The Journey to Astral Heaven", and "The Ascended Master".

Because of recent and targeted vandalism at my rental studio property, I have been threatened by the owner through a lawyer, with eviction (SEE: Beacon Herald Newspaper, Stratford City Gazette)... these works are all 8'x8' and still in the non-drying clay they were sculpted in, none has yet been cast into bronze... they are too large to move - THEY WILL BE DESTROYED.

I AM DESPERATE - THESE WORKS MUST BE PRESERVED - FOR CANADA.

 

The word must get out....someone must care about this.....I hope....I can only hope. To move these works of art, an estimate from a professional mouldmaker (Sculpture Moulds- Art Di Lella) is $10,000 per mould per sculpture.
