The Defense of Riga
In January, 1991, four large granite blocks from his studio formed the political artwork "Barricade". This blocked a street in Old Riga, to prevent entry of Soviet tanks. These blocks were later used in 2005 to form the sculpture "Swell". The blocks themselves now rest at the Pedvale Open Air Art Museum, where they have been used in other patriotic works and displays.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
