WHY DESTROY YOURSELF? WHY DIE BEFORE YOUR TIME? THE KEEPERS OF THE HOUSE TREMBLE. DESIRE IS NO LONGER STIRRED. DO NOT CONFORM ANY LONGER TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD.

Termite Bulwark

TCD
TERMITE FORTRESS NO. 8
In the beginning it was painting cups, but now the idea is to get the hands dirty. This piece took over 3 hours, because during that time several other more conventional objects (vases) were attempted first, and subsequently ditched. It is all trial and error in this game, but there are to be a minimum of rolling pins used from now on. After spending forty minutes on something and then scrunching it up 2 or 3 times on the run, the natural reaction is to bugger off home and call it a day, but something will always, always arise, given patience. This was a last gasp effort which barely rescued what was a frustrating session. You win some, you lose some. That's the deal when there is no planning involved. Blueprints have to be sketched....
