The landscape of memory always contains several prominent peaks, images or instances that especially stand out and can typically be counted on your fingers. One of mine is watching a Hopi Kachina carver at work on his porch, working outside under broken sunlight and shade with a set of simple tools at a small workbench. The image is particularly appealing because it combines both leisure and work. Pure leisure so rapidly become cloying. I can’t take too much of it. Yet all work, of course, becomes exhausting. This carver to me had found exactly the right synthesis of both.
Anyhow, the point of this: after just short of forty years of woodworking larger commissions I have slowed down and am thinking smaller, moving into the field of wooden crafts, which to this point I have pretty much abjured, nose in the air. Thus the opening of an Etsy shop: FlyingCircusStudios
In time more items will follow. Thank you to the individuals in both Flagstaff and Tucson who have already purchased some of my pocas cosas.
