Thoughts On Accomplishment

| Metal Sculpture 4 feet x 11.75 inches |
The metal sculpture in the photo is on the 2004 sculpture course display wall for the project critique. It still now hangs on my wall.
Grasping what feels like a few years ago as going on almost 20 years ago is surreal. What is even more strange is why I rarely sculpt.
What makes us stop doing things we enjoy and/or are good at?
I remember receiving very encouraging words about my metal sculpture. The message that I should be doing this more was strong back then. There's a bag of leftover materials from the project in the storage closet. The extra steel sheet metal piece I had to let go because it was too large, and in the way.
Not everything undone can be blamed on depression. I think there are things we are good at that scare us in some ways, hold us back from blending who we are with what we can accomplish.
Accomplishment.
Something to think about
Fear holds us back for sure. Maybe sculpting is in your future?
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos of your recent walk. The picture of the crows is fabulous.
After my dinning table top is refinished, I'll have time and space to work on a wall sculpture or two. Heavy plastic over the table and away I go! Working with plaster soaked fabric strips is very messy.
I love that you made that. For me, I can't believe how quickly a day goes by. So fast. Whoosh.
ReplyDeleteHappy,

ReplyDeleteIt was a challenging and fun project.
Your metal sculpture is fantastic. Yes I think sometimes as we age we lose ourselves to other pursuits. Maybe it is time to get back to doing what brings us joy! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteGetting back to sewing is one of those joys.
Have a wondeRful weekend!
A good sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see who wants it when I'm gone.
I definitely think you should be doing more sculpture - but only if your heart desires it. We have to find joy in what we do.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, Maryanne
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to watch YouTube videos on sculpture for inspiration.
