overtakes days and weeks,
sunrise to set,
feverish
fresh
racing
design.

a fascination that began with branches
and grew to studies of roots and tradition;
progressed to a preoccupation with
elemental refinements.

from garden hazel, to peeled spruce root, to hand-skeined willow

each of these intense obsessions are in
my daypack, now 3 decades long,
and in this piece.

quite amazing to me,
a kind of chrysalis spinning grafted
the work, thru days and nights until the
light.
I might have been a spider working
in the web.
