Beautiful words!

So art ends up taking its place in the dark, between exhaustion and the soul that wants to communicate and learn.

I know that feeling, that urge, of making art in the face of adversity. Or simply, just persisting when time is not on your side. The sculpture capital, eh? My friend Eric has a creative way to acquire marble for his projects. There is a specific quarry in Vermont (U.S.) where he searches the perimeter of the property for discarded stone. He has gotten into some difficult situations pulling the marble chunks back to his truck. They’re not cotton balls! But it’s worth it in the end. He could never afford market marble. The urge persists. And then he takes this:

And makes that:

I am a novice at transferring funds. Please let me know if this was a success!
I hope you can get a Cuba group together, when time allows.
Ah, when time allows! Meanwhile, best of everything to you and family!
