What is your process from inception on the idea to a final piece? I plan out everything before I make a single cut. I rarely take measurements or make drawings as I tend to eyeball everything. I trust my instincts fully; I’m rarely befuddled or confused about the direction I need to take. I’m a good self-manager; with the benefit of 2-plus decades of experience making objects, I tend to trust even an aesthetic whim. Clearly, my process is experiential.
Do you want to start a dialogue on guns, gun laws or what they stand for? No, I don’t talk about politics because I do not feel I have much to contribute. I’m not a lawmaker, it would be preposterous for me to tell other people what is “right” or “wrong.” The independence that I value I respect in others, even if they do not respect mine. - excerpt taken from Wonderland
