Martin,

 

Thank you for the link. That was a decently written article.

Much better than I would expect of most journalist these days.

 

I had not known part of Ford's history, and something in it jumped out at me as a common thread or element in the best artists and art collectors.

Curran,

 

YW!

 

...and you are right. Nicely written and well balanced. Perhaps the reporter is a member here : )

 

I must admit that I saved the text for future reading.

 

For those of You who have not seen the 2-part documentary of the "Lost Tiger" - Search on the Tube. "Ford Hallam"

 

It is AMAZING.

That article and reporter are local to us here in South Africa.

I have visited Ford's home, and everything in that article is accurate. I just hope that South Africa gets to keep him..but something in me doubts that we can do him justice. Great article!

Thank you, chaps, for your generous comments

 

I might be able to keep doing this work a while longer now

 

I actually met the reporter about a month ago when I was giving a talk and demonstration to members of the local knifemaking fraternity at a mate's forge. Henri was very attentive and I appreciated his insightful questions at the time. His interviewing style was equally sensitive and attentive. For a populist piece intended for a general audience I think he conveyed quite a bit.

 

He's actually quite taken with the work and will be doing some training in basic chiselling, shortly, in my studio :D He'll be relieved you approve of his article, I'm sure.

 

regards,

 

Ford
