Me with pet rooster CL.
I enjoy correspondence and comments (both complementory
and critical),
and I do especially like deep and interesting inquiry into reality and the nature
of things.
Here's one comment about my work that I liked...
".....
Even if I wouldn't want to own most of them,
they are fascinating and have a sort of ugly beauty."
I get plenty of much more praising comments,
but This one has a ring of truth to it...
A sort of beautiful repulsiveness that makes many people look at my stuff admiringly,
but then not buy it.
I try to respond to all personal e-mails that ask a question or interest me to comment.
I will warn you though, I think sometimes I may
have a tendency to piss people off, not on purpose, of course.
One time, This guy sent me an e-mail saying how much he liked my art, and he
sent me a picture of a piece of sculpture.
It was a face, in pain or in transformation. I liked it. Just that day, I had
been hiking and came across a dead cat,
which had been sort of freeze dried in a curled up position and hollowed out
by insects.
Almost all of the fur was gone, and the smooth skin was stretched over the face,
which had a tortured, open mouthed expression, with the fangs bared.
I whipped out my camera and took some shots.
That being one of the fascinating things that had gone through Eugene World
that day,
I sent a picture of the dead cat to the guy. He never e-mailed me back.
Now, thinking back, I see that was probably not
the best thing to do.
After all, what if the guy was a big-time cat lover? I like cats myself
(although I will pop them on the rump with my pellet gun when they're sitting
in the bird feeder!),
and I'm not into gore and weirdness,
but that cat had a sort of, well, an ugly beauty....
