Balls to the Walls
Blow Pipes and Puntys in pipe warmer The ends of the pipes are perfect at an orange glow….not too yellow, not too red. Today was a “balls to the walls” (B2W) kind of day in the studio. Big macho energy….mine. Big fresh ideas….mine. My B2W attitude brings me more of what I already know. It is […]
Glass
Today I blew glass. I sculpted glass too. Heavy. Hot. Massive equipment using huge amounts of electricity and gas. I struggled with the newness of the environment, the different temperature and quality of the glass, the heaviness of the annealer door, the furnace door too. The height of the marver, the […]
Bates Beach
With the urgency of the surfers running down the steps racing out to huge, loud, tubular waves. As the chill of the Pacific cuts against my shins. I turn my back to the sun and excitement and feel a deep familiarity rise up through the shadow cast before me. The hang of […]

Watching Noam Chomsky’s DVD and thinking back on many of my conversations with my Grandad
reminds me to not take the horrendous things that are going on in the world to heart. Listening to other’s experiences of earlier times of crisis and seeing that today they can talk about them calmly as if they are sweeping their arm through a sky of history, a slight watery color that washes an […]
I mean Come On, I go to these blogs and see the self sell behind it all. I envy the pizzaz it takes to do so. In the next breath a gagging comes over me- for 10 years? Really? What else is going on?The theme is to have a theme. I don’t want a theme. […]
