Spent an interesting day in the shop working on the cello to be played at the state funeral for the son of Vice President Biden. Interesting to quietly work on something that will be used in a vast, stately ,solemn event where the most important people in our world will be attending. It reminds me of the way that art begins in the silence and pushes out towards an end that you don’t often know….sometimes even dizzying heights….but wherever your work ends up contributing its spirit…for me it always grows out of the authentic , everyday and grounded work at the bench
