This sculpture was cast in China because all the foundries I had used in the past on the East coast could no longer accomodate this large a piece. Also, Governor Warner had just been hosted in Shanghai by Evergreen Ent. who operated as our contracting agent. So, politically it was a stable agreement; socially, it has been sought out in the past year by thousands of Chinese tourists and Chinese Americans who take pride in China's ability to readily handle this scale of work. Alas, it is not so in America.

If Virginia Beach is the "All American City", why was the statue at the center of the Neptune festival cast in Ningbo China, in a foundry built for the People's Liberation Army? Why didn't it get cast in the US? A work of art, to be sure, but at what cost?
