Reason to change

This past weekend, I faced the most compelling reason so far as to why I need to reevaluate what sculpture can be and how I should go about making things in the future.

On Friday I rented a truck and moved all of my old artwork to a new storage location. I had more stuff than I remembered and it is HEAVY. I spent the remainder of the weekend in serious muscle pain. While moving, I had a very strong urge to destroy a lot of the work so that I wouldn't have to deal with it again. But that would have been just as difficult as moving it, and since I had already rented the truck I figured it wasn't worth the effort. Although, it probably is healthy to destroy your work every now and then...

Future work needs to either be light weight or have a pre-determined destination before I start building. Models and plans might be a good option when appropriate. I'll also have to look into alternative materials. I'm beginning to think that it may not be worth it to make a big heavy object if I have no specific plans for it afterwards.
