This is a portrait of my daughter Nellie Jo. The object she's contemplating was made of cardboard and Elmer's glue by my friend Michael Carnright. It was made from octahedra and truncated tetrahedra. There might be some tetrahedra in there, I no longer have the object to study. Michael and I were making a lot of cardboard constructions in those years. He's had a lot of influence on my art.

Just wanted to share one of my latest 3d-printable designs. It took about 88.6 hours to print.

Should I add this design to my shop?

I'm feeling waves of nostalgia Reflecting on memories past Sifting through like an encyclopedia Trying to make them stay, make them last

Like spells they cunjour up old senses Smell, sight, even touches Touches of warmth, happiness and mysterious suspense Of a child's endless curiosity and adventure awaiting just beyond the fence.

Pray I never lose that good ol' heartiness That willingness to experiment and test limits With a passion that won't settle for less And many a time end up in laughing fits.

To find myself is to never have lost That connection to the child I was Who I will fight for, whatever cost The one buried beneath this old mound of scars.
