well .... I can sketch forever in the forge with metal and that works well until I am tired .... pencils, pens and chalk are great for a while too .....main problem is that after 35 years of doing all that there is a creepy tendency to follow familiar routes .... even when experimenting .... going out on a limb, yes ....but I know the push of the wind, even the crack of wood and the fall ... nothing to be scared of cos I've picked myself up so often .....years ago I found corel when it was very young ( even helped them develop some tools in Draw) then Rhino ...and I made a great discovery ... I could feed seeds of thought into an experiment without worrying about the process of growth ... no safety issues, fatigue was irrelevant, hundreds of variations were born without any concern for time or wasted energy .....best of all are the surprises .....see, I work, sleep,eat,make love with metal ...sketching with rubber sheet geometry is empathetic to such a relationship ....running a hand over anything leaves wonderful memories...guidelines for recognizing a potential texture when forging ... or understanding the eloquence of a curve ....so stretching bezier curves or distorting nurb forms comes very naturally and becomes a form of tango ....a breast,curve of a wave,moving cat tail,soaring under a paraglider....millions of sensual pleasures among which are these unexpectedly mobile forms within the computer ...
as for patrons of my work ... those lovely people who provide enough support for me to do everything .... they know ... nothing I show them at the beginning is anything more than a hint...now darling what have you done ...our daughter doesn't look anything like that sticky goo you showed me at that night ..
everything helps
