About seven years ago, I got it in my head that I would make furniture. Outdoor furniture - do some woodworking. The desire was great.
A mentor told me that all us theatre people have this need for the tangible. The art we create exists in a moment. There is no way to save it. Pictures don't do it justice. Filmed versions of theatrical experiences are always strange to watch. Theatre is about the moment, the immediate connection with the audience. It lasts for a certain period of time and then is no more.
Perhaps this is why drawing has gotten me excited. Perhaps this is why I want to start creating book art (not scrapbooking). I guess I am interested in creating something that will out live me.
Something that lasts.
