Totemic





The good-luck duck-fish, with single-fin board: recycled sculpture mix, denim and blue/green glazes; abalone shell; twine; redwood bark; a broken bit from the first sea urchin shell I ever salvaged as a diver (1978). That shell stayed whole for about 25 years, and then I dropped a clay mermaid on it, breaking both. I kept the bits.

Sometimes, it takes courage to be silly.
Other times, it's real easy.

You may be surprised by how much all that enriches my life, though.

Take a dare?

Attempt something silly yourself.
