the thing that i love most about him as an artist is the patience that it takes to complete a piece. all of the elements come into play; the wind, tides, night & day, temperature, animals, and even his own physical limitations can add to and subtract from a work.
what would be hard for me is the extreme humility it takes to let a piece of work that you have literally poured your time, sweat and emotion into, only to let it die in due time. i am all about freezing a piece in time and keeping it forever to show how hard i worked on something. (look, look! look how good i am everyone!) the fluid, transient nature of his work speaks to me as a person in being able to let go. letting go of something you have put out there for yourself and others- be it a gift you've given to someone, a meal you've painstakenly made, or even a project that you (quietly) seek recognition from.
