Existential Dread

I'm starting to feel existential angst about how long I have left. More directly how long active will I be? On the assumption I will become less active over time, it makes sense to get stuff done now while I can.


The question is what? Metal for sure. That's strenuous and tedious and eventually I will not be able to do the hard parts.


Here are the latest bronzes.




Bronze is getting expensive though. Everything is, and I guess that is because we have consumed the same amount of raw materials in the past 20 years than we did in the prior 100.

Sorry kids. Can't blame the Boomers for this one.

Anyway I want to try cast iron. And maybe cast glass again. 

While I still can.

    I hear you. If I was to try something new Id like it to be stone carving but where would I get the stone? And having to sharpen all your tools all the time would be a pain.

    Your work is so weird, mostly it leaves me scratching my head. But I really like that last one...walking jellyfish or tentacle mushroom.
