Proposed Charlie Chaplin sculpture

Here's a pic of the Charlie Chaplin 'tramp' sculpture model in situ in the upstairs hall at the Cinema Museum.

I love it's ghost-like quality.

The Cinema Museum is in the Lambeth Old Workhouse, where Charlie, his half brother Syd and his mother went for a period when they were destitute. That's where the Cinema Museum is located today.

Anthony Caro

Watching 'Romancing the Stone: The Golden Ages of British Sculpture'. Enjoying the sculptures of Anthony Caro, which I wasn't previously familiar with. Also rather moved by revisiting Paolozzi. I didn't used to like his stuff and now I do. How things change.

Last night I sculpted a little clay head - we called it 'No Chance Man' or 'Monsieur Nil Chance'. I'm going to take a photo and put it online. And then do another little sculpture.
