PYE 3 — METALLIC — An examination of Pye’s stainless steel period of the late 1960s and early '70s, culminating with the fabrication and siting of his sculpture Zemran, on London’s Southbank. The Super 8 archive of Pye at work, plus examples of his metal sculpture, is augmented with photos and new film and video shot by Helliwell. Interviewed especially for the soundtrack, Pye reflects on his output of the '60s and '70s, giving background and insights into his working methods and life as a sculptor. Random vox pop comments recorded next to Zemran, and an array of Helliwell’s electronically generated sounds, add to the audiovisual tapestry woven around Pye’s modern and still futuristic looking stainless steel creations.
