REFLECTIONS ON THE LEGACY OF G. PRICE AND MY WORK ABOUT HIM Channel5belize “I am very proud to see how so many people love Mr. Price because when I met him about twelve years ago, with the first meeting, I thought this was a great man and for great people like that, you just don’t say thank you. You immortalize them; you say thank you in a very different form. When I started the project, I did not know so many people had love for him—it was challenging; it was like a crazy idea; what were you trying to do? It was a lot of pressure, but I pressed on. I’m very proud that I met him. He made very great impact on me especially by his life, by his consolidation of my validation; of my idea that you can still do great things with gentle dignity. So it wasn’t just an idea; I saw him doing it. And when I finished this thing and had it put at the George Price Center, it was a milestone for me. Got about fifty photographs of him so that we can see him from different directions and so that when the sculpture is done; it is also to reflect him in his youth, to reflect him in his philosophy and to reflect him as his age. After that we made the original form which is made in special oil clay. And after that I invited Right Honorable Said Musa to take a look at it and after he saw it, he commissioned it." edition.channel5belize/archives/61192
