My job is entirely abstract — ideas, systems, conversations, documents. Nothing I build at work has physical weight or stays where I left it.
Making things is the counterweight.
The specific medium has shifted over the years — clay sculpting, acrylic painting, and now mostly miniature assembly — but the reason is always the same. I need something that demands complete attention and gives immediate, physical feedback. Something that cracks if you rush it and doesn’t care how many years of engineering experience you have.
