LUCIDITY I knew it was time to go, When the fog rolled in. The sweetness of the salty air, And the crashing surf muffled. My mother was deathly afraid of the fog, Perhaps a bad memory. I found myself, as I often do, Paddling out, past the break, Floating, breathing in, hungry, For the heavy wet air. Lost of what world I was born, The Pacific called for me again.

California Sycamore bench. The tree was harvested after a heavy SoCal Santa Ana wind event. Sorta like working with Maple but way more forgiving and absolutely more beautiful grain. Made on Sam Maloof's mammoth band-saw which in American terms is like using Antonio Stradivari's hand tools to make a violin. Sam invited me up to his Alta Loma studio years ago. He was sending a massive collection of his work to The Smithsonian. A life treat it was. He passed in '09. This week his museum offered me an opportunity to show some public art work. We'll see if it goes anywhere.
