And as the story of my artistic career goes, here we are at the beginning, or at least the most recent delineation. In high school I took several shop courses to do with cabinet making and furniture design and when years later I was looking for a hobby this familiar territory is where I turned. A sad reality quickly revealed itself to me however. Woodwork, although personally fulfilling, does not offer an easy opportunity to support oneself as a craftsman in our modern disposable society. Heirloom quality furniture is very difficult and labour intensive to build and seams to have a diminishing market. That said, I may not have given it enough of a chance as I was distracted by the shinny world of metal sculpture very early in the process. Currently, I am heading into more of a fusion of materials so who knows what might be discovered at the next delineation.
