INTERRUPTED
I interrupt myself all the time... I interrupt my thoughts, my flow, my day, my breathing... breathe... breathe... Not the biggest fan of feeling pressure — anyway... breathe.

So, let's talk about my work. Let's do a critical piece of it. What's it called? "A word that describes the warmth of grey marble..." But how would a critic know that? Maybe it's about distancing myself from the work — not my opinion, but an honest critic... How do I do that?
Do I want a pseudonym? Not really, that's silly. Can I see my own work critically? Can an artist be their own critic? I have no idea.

Objective —  Subjective —
Is wood a found object? Is it because you use it for art? Using metal material to create traditional objects? Art vs craft (meaning) — organic, living, survival... tangled & corrupted, fight. Connect to basket weaving (respond locally). "Nature fighting back"? All the grottyness came off in my hands...
Start writing about pieces and see if people read it :)
Borrow things and return them (like a library) — negotiation...
Are there other artists that do sculptures with wire? I quite like that.
