It is my intention that the following notes serve at least a couple of purposes. I would like to present the impression of offering some level of reassurance that the sculptor is not completely flaky, a little at times maybe, yet it would be great to give the impression that the sculptor has some credibility. This credibility might allow more ease in entertaining some of the more “out there” concepts to be presented. Another purpose of these notes is to provide an intimate sense of the mental, emotional aspects of such a journey.
