Balance - Predator and Prey Sculpture

Balance - Predator and Prey There has to be some irony to burn and owl into a raccoon skull, regardless, it seemed to bring a feeling of balance to the piece. There's a moment when you are burning something into a piece of wood where the aroma triggers a memory. I stop worrying where the line is going and just let it go where it wants, while I find myself lost in the moment. All of us know this smell, from good to bad, I have experienced many. I find they bring a calm balance to my life the moment the glowing red tool sizzles into the first fibers of the piece and a burst of smoke pours out of the wood. The scent, the lines, and sometimes a conversation, place a veil between me and a world hell bent on teetering out of control. However, under no sane circumstance, does the process of burning or cutting into bone bring any moment of pleasant euphoria and that smell should be avoided at all costs. :)
