After a day of teaching, despite being cold to the bones I take myself to the place where 1/2/3? of my future carvings will be exhibited during this years “Art in the Garden“. The plunge pool, what draws me to it is the highly structured square element and within it water, that flows freely despite it’s constrained environment, then there is this “funny” fountain, a portal, a wall…

So many thoughts, so many possibilities, such a busy life, I keep going….the next step is to get a big lump of rock, let go of ideas, knowing that ideas that are of value to me rarely develop in my head.
