On the morning of my 25th birthday I was doing the final touches on this piece, the not-so-fun part of my work. I’ll admit I was pretty hung over (as any freshly turned, 25 year old should be).
In my cloudy state, I accidently slipped with a Stanley knife and messed up my thumb pretty bad. Straight away rushed my self off to hospital in doing so covering my studio, car and hospital entrance in blood.
I ended up being fine, a few stitches later and I was home in bed with some painkillers and the bonus of having my birthday off work!
I worked incredibly hard mentally and physically to get my art to where it is and now I can say that I have literally put blood, sweat and tears into my work!
As a token to my favorite wine, for all the good and bad, this is ‘Pepperjack’.
