A psychological distance is captured in this piece. There is a sea between them even though they may live under the same roof. The bridge-shaped rock that they are sitting on represents their foundation. A bridge can bear the weight only if all the supports work. A crack is forming on it now.
A friend asked me again yesterday why I sculpt pieces that will be difficult to sell. I have consciously decided not to let marketability influence my creations. I want to make art that is meaningful and challenging. My interest is in portraying both positive and negative aspects of human life. People may not like this particular sculpture, but I am curious to see what kind of reactions it will produce.

I have been busy with garden work, but my preparation for the Sculpture in the Park Show is moving steadily. New business cards will be printed sustainably at Greener Printer. I will next order small boxes to put ceramic buffalo in. Meanwhile I want to make at least a few more new pieces. I feel new energy being generated.
In this blog, I'm going to simply line up images to see if "Follow It," an email notification app that I use, will send out all the photos. Yes, please click here to subscribe. In the next few sculptures, I am going to explore the value of human connections. I just watched, for the forth times, a TED Talk by Robert Waldinger. Following his suggestions, I have been deliberately reaching out to some people in order to deepen the friendships. It takes time away from making art, but it is more important to me at this stage of my life. I am not good at building rapports, but it does not mean I should not try. New Little Buddhas will be reflections of such thought.
Some of you may be interested in seeing how I make sculpture bases. I give thoughts to each one, so that it will uniquely enhance the sculpture. These three pieces are the very examples.
Grocery shopping and swimming were done this morning. I'm ready to spend the next 2 days in this cozy house, while spring storms blow. After that, hopefully beautiful Spring will arrive here finally. Stay warm everyone! Click here to receive an email notification each time a new blog is posted. I was itching to go outside for a walk, but I wanted to finish coloring them. I will now put them aside and take a look at them from time to time. Usually areas that require recoloring will pop up. Happy almost spring to everyone!
