Bushmills
somehow this seemed easier before…
the tractor of my dreams remains in the land of dreams
in good company, laughing at me wryly with many others
as they sit around the fire at night and chuckle at my continued silliness...
as they sit around the fire at night and chuckle at my continued silliness...
I'm still… hauling the logs by hand out to the trails
it is closer than a gym and costs no money…
it seemed easier before
that’s what I tell myself anyway…
with only the March and April racks left to fill
I am remembering my Irish grandfather…
after a long day of pounding nails well past his 60’s
he’d sit in his stuffed chair in the evening
and call out to my grandmother...
Hazel… will you bring me my “medicine”…
soon she would enter like an angel,
carrying a clear glass of amber with 2 ice cubes
and I’d watch him sip the physical aches and pains away
as his crooked smile would return and he’d speak of his day…
someday I’ll get that tractor, at least that's what I tell myself anyway…
for now, though, I have my Bushmills,
in a beautiful cup... shimmering with the melted ash of trees...

Hive w/ Cut Sides
16.5in.H x 12in.W
Soft Oak Ash Tone w/ Nails
when these were made in the late Eighties,
I was extremely excited to achieve such a result from the Electrogama
but they were unnoticed at shows then
I wonder how they might be seen in today's contexts...

the distant past
this surface is from a large bowl I pulled from the garage yesterday
hadn't seen it in 17 or so years... it was made easily 20+ years ago
or long enough ago that Albany slip was easily available
the interior is lined with it..
seems worth pursuing again in the near future...
who knows... I'll see what it does now...
and how it might interact with current surfaces...

morning
chilly night last night
in mind and body, as fall entered the room
temps in mid 40's and the air was crisp
the morning, though, leaves all that behind...
