Cyprus College of Art1 was set up in Paphos in 1969, by Stass Paraskos, who sadly passed away in 2014. It’s a melange of sculpture that has been created and added to since the sixties. Stass’ work is mixed with work of artists and students in a wall that wraps around a collection of old buildings of a shed like construction, surrounded by court yards with clementine trees and mimosa, interspersed with piles of: wood, metal, glass, tiles, paper, bricks and workshops with rusty metal and tools left out as if the artist may return to work that afternoon. I resolved on my second visit I wanted to create a sculpture that reflected the balance of bare metal parts with solid concrete sculpture of Stass’ work, although I wasn’t too sure how I was going to go about it. I set off to Cyprus with the resolve to give it my best shot!
