Sometimes, projects take me a really long time. Occasionally, it's because I bite off a bit more than I can chew, and sometimes, it's just because the vision I start with isn't quite complete. Sometimes, you have to just jump in to some of these things, and sometimes, you need to have everything planned out correctly beforehand. There are a couple in particular that have taken me forever - and one of those took a very long time to even get started. It's a carving project, and that is all the detail I am going to give until it's done, other than to say it's started.....
just a block of wood
six sides is how it starts,
nothing fantastic to see in it,
except the possibilities
of what lies beneath.
schroedinger's carving -
until the first stroke of the chisel, it is everything
and it is nothing,
but every stroke of the chisel,
and more is revealed, as it slowly takes shape,
the form coming slowly,
one small flake of wood at a time.
Thanks for reading,
Me
