Lately, I've been reading a lot about Oppenheimer--and the other night watched the documentary, The Day After Trinity. It shocks me that a half-century ago these physicists realized they had created something dangerous and terrible--and that the talk today is so incredibly irrational, and has everything to do with billions in boondoggles, rather than environmental safety and basic human rights and kindness. Anyway, hi.

The name came pretty randomly. I think I was just sitting on the couch one day thinking about crafting or something, and it hit me how strange glue was. Particularly hoof glue (wiki it...super strange process). I don't condone making horses into glue, but if they're already being killed, it seems that making use of all of the horse is a sound idea.

It was sort of a twisted joke, but it works on a personal level too, because I'm a big fan of making collages, and "things" in general.

Sorry, that was probably a more extensive answer than you were looking for.

How long have you been in Albuquerque? I see you make furniture--glue, nails, or both?

Sincerely,
Monet

Be well!
