Exoskeleton

scraps of plywood from last year's piece, string or thin rope, tent stakes

Since this time last year, "A Foundation" has become an exoskeleton, a structure once needed, now released. This is the second installment using the same materials, deconstructed and intended to evolve annually.

Making art is all about what I experience while making it.  I learn, confront, struggle, moan, break-through, fail, succeed, and sometimes have the time of my life. Ultimately it's about that, about being alive in a creative process.
