Fiddler on the Roof
Sculpture made from beach-combings.
Very early one morning, just after high-tide, I saw in the distance what looked like a squashed, sodden cardboard-box. Fortunately I didn't dismiss it and went to confirm the sighting. "Wow, a log-cabin", I exclaimed aloud to myself. Its maximum circumference was 48" and it stood 14" tall. Having just washed up, it was extremely heavy and I had about 3/4 mile to carry it. At least I had a breakwater to rest it on every 100yds. That was several years ago.
Only last winter, a forestry worker saw the piece and explained that my log-cabin was the result of an axe-race, whereby axemen challenge each other to chop a log in as quick a time as possible. He thought it had come from abroad as the diameter was greater than material used in the UK. It was also pointed out that the axe-blade had a small chip out of it, resulting in the thin vertical stripes on the roof.
The little bird is for Topol, who inspired the title.
