man and woman

We do not clearly know where we will arrive in our work.
Although we set the compass, we are led by material and work process.
We have plans and blueprints, but the finished work is still a surprise.

who are you?

I am abandoning these, they are too beautiful.

and you my love
my sweet, sweet love

the satisfying checkerboard

And so it's the weekend, and I am sitting on the deck with the fresh May air, the sounds of geese and ducks and birds and water slapping and rolling, finishing the satisfying checkerboard, block by block.

35 weeks

I hope that my own internal and mysterious rhythms will be revealed by a body of work that to my standards is thoroughly honest.

new beginning

whole world's broke
ain't worth fixing
it's time to start all over
make a new beginning

too much pain
too much suffering
it's time to start all over
make a new beginning

start all over
start all over

we can break the cycle
we can break the chain
we can start all over

change our lives and create a new world
