Why Craft?
Nothing in this experience of life is permanent. Everything we know is in a state of deterioration- from material things to our own bodies. The need to create is the human impulse to fight this ultimate deterioration. We create in as many ways as we destroy. We procreate, we write, we build, and we invent.
I am exploring many modes of creation, and at this moment in my experience of this life I feel the need to create beautiful things that can be enjoyed on a personal level. While I craft I infuse the items that I make with thought, hope, and love as I ponder purpose, existence, and relationships. I enjoy the act of creating, finishing, and then sharing them with others. Crafting is the way I am currently dealing with the unstoppable passage of time and the internal desire to create while struggling to understand and accept that these small creations, like myself, are not permanent.
