Someone was crafting and selling some fine monuments featuring beautiful shape carving around Sparta in the 20th century. This was done with the same sandblasting technology used by monument companies today, yet they don’t make em like they used to, and it’s hard to pin a reason on it. Are we as a society not willing to pay for it? Or do the monument companies see no value in trying to sell it? Are they even willing to pay a craftsperson to do it? Would people be willing to pay extra for it if it was an option? In other words, is there a market for it, and if there is not, why not? Apparently there used to be.

Has our culture devolved into a lack of art appreciation or have the artists stopped producing? And if they have, why? Is it because we don’t teach art appreciation to our children? Is it because we don’t think it has any value in our capitalist society where profit is king? Maybe all the homeless people are artists who have no job opportunities thanks to our lack of valuing what they have been given to give to the world.

The homeless people thing is an exaggeration, of course, but I do believe there are many, many unfulfilled latent artists and craftspersons in the United States. And they don’t even know it. We would all benefit, if only subconsciously, from living in a society that values its artists, because our daily experience in the world would be more beautiful.

These are the things you think about when you work on grave stones all day.

Made some shot glasses with the MSA Ghost skull emblem and spiky vines. Messed up a little and got kind of terrible overspray going on. Didn't mask off high enough nor was careful enough with the airstream direction while sandblasting, so there's some obvious frosting on the insides of three of them, and some less obvious but there-if-you-know-what-to-look-for on a fourth. One each of the big-skull-some-vines and small-skull-more-vines turned out fine.

Made these over a year ago, but didn't photograph them until today.

SCARLET SWISH PUNCTUATED

Indiana limestone, partially sandblasted Spanish black marble hemisphere, patinated copper wire, cast & painted dental stone, thinned paint - 10¼"x 12½"x 1½"

All the textures on the limestone were found that way — all I did was cut the edges to help define the textures, and then used a rag with thinned paint to wipe across and accentuate the surface variations.

Inside the zone tons of metals lie abandoned, but over the years all this rusty gold has not gone unnoticed, and more or less illegally was recycled and today continues to be. Tons of metal leave the area each month. Since 2007, the Ukrainian government has legalized the recycling of radioactive metals with the blasting method. The workshop is close to the never finished number 5 and 6 reactors of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, a huge warehouse where twelve men clean and recycle radioactive metals. Their work is terribly dangerous, almost a death sentence in slow motion, as it forces the workers to continuously inhale radioactive particles like caesium, strontium and plutonium.
