Countdown to “A Stone for Sascha”
Day 8 of 10: Whidbey Island

As an artist working in relative isolation, I’m always incredibly interested in finding out how others work. Even as a kid, I was more fascinated with learning about the making of things than the final product. I think this stemmed from a natural curiosity of where ideas come from, how things are constructed, and more importantly, how can *I* one day make something too!

I had an incredible time making this short documentary about the making of “A Stone for Sascha”. A filmmaker friend of mine from college helped me film and edit this piece, which was shot on location during a stay with another old pal  on Whidbey Island, just west of Seattle at the start of the San Juans - the same location the stone finds its way to in my book. Our kids played together on the beach while we shot footage. The experience was so much fun, it made me realize I better come up with another fantastic location for my next book! It will be tough to top this gorgeous part of the world.

Hope you enjoy!
