Hey Chili, just catching up on a few of your blogs after a busy start to the year. Loving how you are growing into your art and the narrative that describes the journey. I was particularly impressed with the clip that showed the piston like tolerances of your jewellery box. As an old fridgie accustomed to working with micrometers and tight tolerances I can appreciate how this must have messed with your head! It’s a game of thousandths. Keep up the attention to detail and I look forward to watching the black swan evolve into a thing if beauty. BTW, we are in the midst of installing 1.22 MW of solar at Shellharbour. Australia’s largest rooftop installed PV system. That’s what is rocking my world right now!
Go Chili! Loving how you can reference Issac Asimov, Leonardo Da Vinci, Hunter S Thompson and Jim Carrey all in a small space. I look forward to reading your blogs. You may even inspire me to change direction at age 51!!
