The benefits of Collabs

Member Rick Crawford has encouraged me for years to attend a collab, saying “It will change your art.”  Now back from CollaborationNZ for a month, I have to say, he was so very right.  Based on techniques taught me by celebrated French carver Benoit Averly, I have created a couple of stunning large-format carvings (I’m not bragging: one fell over on me when I was photographing it and literally stunned me).  Heck, I may never go back to metal.
