That is the way a great master carpenter feels, or an architect or composer or anyone who creates anything - people want to be appreciated for what they have done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I have more in common with a carpenter than you might think. We're putting things together.
I was a carpenter for a time and everybody watches what you do.
I think that an artist should be a skilled craftsman.
It takes a lot of help - nature, friends, family, craftsmen - for me to make what I make.
As I mentioned, I was a carpenter for a time.
But, when the work was finished, the Craftsman kept wishing that there were someone to ponder the plan of so great a work, to love its beauty, and to wonder at its vastness.
If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.
If I was a carpenter, and I was trying to maintain my father's musical legacy, then I guess it would be a burden because it wouldn't be natural to me to be dealing in music when my natural ability is in woodwork or whatever. But because my natural talent is also music, it kind of makes it much easier.
I care deeply about craft: the quality of how something is made and the experience it enables.
Architects, sculptors painters, we all must return to the crafts! For art is not a 'profession.' There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman.
