why must I take art

art is not something you take
it is something you give

I can only draw stick figures

fire begins
with simple sticks

none of my sculptures look right

you’re in good company
now-put all your wrongs together

and make art

The words are a riff from a piece I wrote back in 2014.
The unfinished sculpture images shown above – my latest work
His name is Abraham GS Bardo (name inspired after the prolific author George Saunders)
When finished, Abraham will inhabit a cemetery with his dearest friend the raven.
