Creating sculpture is not an all consuming need or source of ego identification for me so I never feel anything was or is sacrificed.

It is the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, the antithesis of the notion of beauty as something perfect, enduring, and monumental.

It is a search for the essential elements of our common humanity and the compassion it calls for.

I tell myself that just for today, I will not worry about whatever is in my path and remember it is a privilege not a necessity to share my work.
