Global peace initiative -under proof-reading and proof-listening
BEN VALENTY FROM THE GLOBAL PEACE INITIATIVE
March… last year I came here for a couple of days
and … it was awesome and I was so excited
being now I love this city
it was really fun and creative and anything available architecture here people
were really friendly
I kind of developped the concepts of what I wanted
to be like for us a couple of years now
it was only until a year ago that the idea of a construction of a monument
actually began
and about eight months ago
i got the phone call that Julian had requested and incorporate
a white feather and dedicated to his father, John Lennon
it was obviously a peace monument
a global peace initiative but yeah
it was quite… how it turned out because
when I first came wit the concept of
follow peace and try to make that an amount of
more what this sculpture was going to be like
and it is funny I was listening to John Lennon
and it does feel like that time and
I was like you know it ‘s music
pretty much that one thing that
every body in the world that birngs us
this is altogether that we all have that in common
and I decided that it has to be
the aim/theme of my sculpture and
it is
what’ s eating a few odds about the monument
also has some glass components as well
but there is three parts
the base, the bottom and then on top
of that is this globe with
this instrument with this kind of
wrapping around throwing around
this kind of
globe and it hangs at the top and we can see doves
and there is the white feather of course
the top bird and that’s the glass component
pretty much, you know
just look at it, and remember John Lennon
because I think he had such a powerful message
that it is so advanced in today’s society just as much as it was
back when he was alive
it is pretty much the most important thing, it is a peace monument
remember his legacy and
that it is still alive today is pretty much
