Universal Feedback and Reality as Remix »

I worked on my latest feature for Reality Sandwich on and off for a year. It’s utterly changed since it’s first iteration, the editorial process itself being a journey of discovery in which once again I had to learn to put my own expectations aside and remain open to whatever I was being led to create. It seemed that the closer I got the greater the obstacles became towards completing the piece. Just when I was getting ready to throw in the towel, I recalled a story told by an old writing professor about a sculptor who was trying to create a sculpture of a beautiful woman. It wasn’t going well, as was evident one day when a friend came over and complimented him on the wonderful squirrel he was sculpting. At that point, the artist had a choice—he could either scrap the project and call his sculpture of a woman a failure, or he could go on and create the best squirrel possible.
With that in mind, please enjoy this magical mystery tour led by a synch-tripping squirrel wizard :)
