The next year, I was making an arch and realized I was bored. Something let go in my mind and the arch changed. As new problems have come up, I've figured out ways to solve them, step by step. My first sculpture was an arch about eight inches tall. Since then my designs have evolved, from just trying to solve the engineering problems to combining space and shapes in interesting ways.
Big sculptures take longer.
If there is nice light, I shoot some that show the sculpture in its environment. Photography takes an hour or two. I have prints made and keep them in albums at home. It's interesting to look at them over the years to see how my sculptures have changed. I sell prints, too, and scan some for posting on my World Wide Web sites.
