As always, however, friends reminded me that faith is the way, and that questions are answers:

Earth, Ovens, Art
1998 Fall | Kiko Denzer
A couple of years ago I spoke to a college professor about continuing my art education. He liked my stone carving, but hesitated about the sculpted earthen ovens I'd been doing in building workshops and elementary school environmental programs. He was too polite to ask, "what's it got to do with art? And why ovens?" But he did say his wife would love to have one in their new outdoor kitchen/barbecue area.
