What you see here is a 10 foot wooden sword that weighs about 70-80 lbs.

On one side of the "blade", I burned the word TRADITION.

The other side of the blade has the word INNOVATION burned into it.

 

It has been my experience that artist tend to identify (categorize) themselves as one or the other.

 

I don't feel the need to identify myself with either. They are both part of one thing.

 

 

I think categorizing oneself is about as absurd as

making a 10 foot, heavy wooden sword.
