"Artists have no choice but to express their lives. They have only . . . a choice of process. This process does not change the essential content of their work in art, which can only be their life." – Anne Truitt

My work and sensibility is very different from Anne Truitt's, but I have always yearned for her serenity. Her writings have given me clarity, direction and validation over the years.

Bird Dog grows… aided by a creature who craves the light of the sun, yet shields herself from it. Here I am grinding the fiberglass wings. An interesting medium… So much more durable than clay sculpture. I would need a huge well ventilated studio to do what I envision with it.
