Publisher's Synopsis
The sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving and modeling, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood, and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been almost complete freedom of materials and process.
This autobiography is a collection of literature and poems inspired by growing up in America. The author takes you through his experiences as a world-traveling choirboy, Navy submarine hunter, philosopher, wilderness counselor, politician, lover, and finally sculptor of six large-format bamboo dragons built across North and Central America. Watch a story unfold of growing up to realize you haven't really. It's full of humor and richness at the moment from the colors of childhood to the weight of overcoming codependency. It's the tale of touching your dreams and watching them run away as you chase them. It's a story of crashing hard and finding impossible resurrection and metamorphosis. It's a tale of a desperate attempt to save a marriage and rebuild an identity after being shunned by a tribe. It navigates the torture of dragon narcissus and exposes the colored smoke and triangular spells that make her so charming.
