What appeals to you most about making what you make? What appeals to me about creating things is the tactile feeling of doing it. I love the process of making stuff with my hands. I really like creating a new style or a new way of working with materials that I normally wouldn’t use for a certain application. I make things I guess because it is my way of understanding this life. As long as I can remember I was always drawing. There is nothing like the way I feel after finishing something new. Some times the feeling is more prominent than others but it always makes me feel good, like I left something of me behind. It’s more than esthetics, because even pieces I don’t like as much still have something of myself in them.

If you were forced into a “plan B” what would that look like? I think I’m living Plan C right now. I don’t like to plan. I think that might be a character flaw in me.
