Cold weather in Seoul





I






























I went to the studio in hopes of doing some carving but I just couldn't do it. Yes, it was cold. The cold bothers me some when I work for long stretches without moving much, but what really causes a problem is when the condensation in my dust mask freezes the exhaust port open in my mask. When this happens, I breath in and draw in dust from the open port instead of filtered air through the intake port. Not good. Today was also the third day of the Korean New Year, called 'Solleol'. There were three students on campus - yup, just three - and me. The language centre was open so I could get to my equipment but I felt that it would be weird grinding and hammering away in the studio at such a peaceful time. I thought it might be disrespectful, and I didn't want to be that. I just took some pics of my progress to date and left it at that. According to the forecast, it may be a few more days before I can get back to do some work. So, here is what it looks like as of today.

Hey, I haven't named it yet...it might be nice to call 'it', a name, or even give it a gender pronoun. If anyone has an idea for a name, let me know.
