inspiration statement...
 

"There’s a song by a fella named Johnny Horton called “Ole Slew-foot”. It’s a song about a bear, a big scary monster of a bear that nobody could tame or catch him. As a little boy I would sit with my grandpa, and he would try to teach me how to whittle wood. I was a young boy and restless and always looking to get into mischief. One day he sat me down and he said, “boy, sit down!” I did, and he said, “let me tell you something…” then he imparted some of his grandpa wisdom

on me that stuck with me all these years. He said, “son, if you go into the woods looking for a bear, you’ll never find him. But, if you sit quiet, he might just come around.”

I thought about those words recently and wondered what that would look like. So, I grabbed some clay and started pushing it around, next thing I know “Bear Tracks!” was born.

Bear Tracks! Is a very special piece because it carries the message that when you come face-to-face with the untamed spirit of nature, sometimes the best thing you can do is just enjoy the ride." -Craig Campbell
