FMP_The Gates of Hell.

The Gates of Hell is a monumental sculptural work by Auguste Rodin that depicts a scene from "The Inferno", It stands at 6 m high, 4 m wide and 1 m deep and contains 180 figures. I just love the size of this thing, I've often heared about the doors of heaven and that they're open at the times of Ramadan etc, but never really encountered such a graphic, illustrative version of the opposition; brilliant!! Several of the figures were also cast independently by Rodin.

Were to start! Lets spend a good deal of time together on Thursday and go through it all. I would love this FMP to feature in London - please have a real think about doing it...

I also have a potential job for you. It will be web based but I think there is room to learn on the job - call me...
