DAVID KENNEDY, THE SCULPTOR OF LIFE

Greece 2014 25 DCP Color
Film description
David Kennedy: Sculptor. He lived and “worked” on the island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf, along
with his wife Maya. He was obsessed with animal figures – his favorite model was his goat, Niovi.
And whenever he was asked why he liked to sculpt animal forms, he would reply: “Being that
I’m an animal myself...” He used the ancient technique of melting wax until he turned 80 and it
became too difficult. So he resorted to making wooden spoons for Maya’s kitchen. David passed
away in February 2014. His last words was “tempus fugit” (time is escaping).
