Am collecting discarded handiwork found at the ‘Emporium’. Given the fact that I can not imagine the patience one musters to start and then bring to completion such works, I’m more than pleased to rescue these discarded pieces.

2020
Have always appreciated the concept of 2020 hindsight. This New Year 2021 is a time to look back with 2020 hindsight; to evaluate what can be learned from these past 12 months.
