my great trip out east

above: the black hillz...... absolutely enchanting


...sweet little spot i found in upstate NY. 


the bad landz.... barren wast land~


back in idaho ready for departure
more of the black hillz, by far one of my favorite places traveled thus far, awesome!
The monument wuz amazing azwell. i heard alot of people say, 'ah what ever, it's ok', but from an artist point of view i wuz amazed, the carving is gargantuan.  after seeing this sculpture in person i now yearn evermore so to see other great carvings of stone from around the world....this is only the beginning..... this is only what we know here in the US.

Committed


2008, a great turning point in my life, saturn haz come round to pick me up as a child, so that i could find myself as a man.... i have left my home, but what is home for now all the land i walk, i call my home. i am free of a place, as i am free of many things, things that govern time.  so now all of my time is mine to channel how i feel. my skillz lead me forth, for ten yearz now i have worked to develop the toolz to bend space.  experience speaks stronger than wordz for it iz actions that move mountains, while spoken thoughts are lost to the wind.... space altered stands with time. a teacher told me once if your gonna make a mistake make it big and learn sumthin from it. teach yourself by getting out there, leave fear behind, let hesitation slip away........ to enter the moment we must be clear and whole within.  

when melting glass, the moment is critical.  working glass becomes a delicate dance of fire married with gravity, ultimately attaining 'the flow'. shaping glass requires raw intuition, and instinct- structured thoughts, words all take to long.  glass is now, one must be ready and willing to accept utter failure, for the medium is fickle and temperamental, a single moment outside of the flow can end a project that is days in the making.  nervez must be calm, thoughtz clear....... all else is forgotten, when hot glass is in your handz.

Gypsy nomad.... unconventional, free to live now in the moment for the moment! my home the space i occupy, my occupation the time i choose to bend space........ renaissance warrior.
