In addition to the size of the sculpture he has planned for the Arandjelovac symposium and the opportunity to work with some of the world’s finest marble, Marshall said the symposium would allow him to have his sculpture exhibited alongside works by some of the world’s best sculptors. ‘And it’s a chance to see a work located in a public place,’* Mar- shall said, ‘“‘which is unusual for most sculptures."” Marshall and Addy will return to North Vancouver Dec. 30.
