Re-Construction Gives New Function

1" thick, century-old timber salvaged from a farm-cart box was my inspiration. Creative eyes saw the original paint's horizon line with a sun setting over the water.

Inspirational piece was a vintage shipping crate which carried Funk & Wagnall's
to a farm in Maine.

Overkill

As I have said, art should make you feel something.   It should move you  ---make you smile, cringe, dream, visualize, think.

This is my reaction to an NRA notion that teachers should carry guns in schools.   Disturbing.

And seriously, if we register our cars, all guns should be registered, too.  Background checks?---take as long as you need.  Don't get me going on types of guns ... big difference in hunting an animal vs. shredding an animal ---unless the plan is to make jerky on the spot.

Always something surprising on the inside.

Materials of the Moment

 In the works, my Noyes Farm Teapot Series.

For awhile now, I have wanted to create teapots, of the non-utilitarian nature.
The medium was always up in the air.  Literally, I now realize and also next door.
Scavenged from the rafters of an old barn (which recently collapsed to ground level)
---these old timbers are steeping with potential.
