I like to work on more than one project at a time. That way when I get stuck on one, I can work on another. For a little while. While I was working on SATI (Search for Any Terrestrial Intelligence), I reached a point where I needed a break. So… I started on Ascent. One of the reasons for the switch was WINTER. 
SATI is a large piece and I needed to work on it in my welding yard. With an emphasis on Yard. I was outdoors you know. So, Ascent. Smaller, all indoors. So far its cedar with plans for stacked glass and steel additions. It is a diptych. A fancy name for a two piece sculpture. I like diptychs. Their shape can be changed on site to fit the setting and lighting.
