Hi George,

Here is Alan Counihan:

The work of art does not
reside in the final form alone
but also in the act of its
making; if the magic is not
found in the process, it will
not be found in its fruit.
This is true of all our work.
The essence of great craft,
as of great art, lies in its
very creation.

How about them apples.

Bill Marsh asks about viewing Bill Knight sculpture.
Would you like to see some slides, Bill? I've got a nice
slide of the four inch high alabaster thingy that ate
Chicago. Thank you for asking. I'm embaressed at my
empty pot. My stuff is pretty nomal. Nothing to knock
you on your can. Keep looking at Barry X Ball. And in
other words I am ninety percent water and ten percent gas!
I could send you a digital photo but then everybody would
be asking! Why do you think I'm on-line all the time
gibbering about things? Well its pretty much because I
have no organizing vision. I do like blobs though. I
like skin and I like flesh of any beast. All my carving
is about the beast and the attractions of flesh or other
animate matter. My rocks are never rocks. Not people,
more amphibian or sea beast. I like blobs! They have
such presence. I like to make things like me to stare
back at me. Unlike Norman, I would probably like to take
a shot at that Herpes virus.
