In Hey, You! Get Off of My Cloud! I (backhandedly) acknowledge the accomplishments of my former student (and former assistant) Stoney Lamar, who often uses song titles as titles for his pieces. The title is also a tongue-in-cheek comment on the pitfalls of being a pioneer. More than twenty-five years have passed since many of my innovations in the field of wood sculpture, and I am chagrined at times at being told that my work looks like that of some young turner who doesn't know where the concepts he/she cheerfully appropriates have come from. This piece is made using the sophisticated chainsaw/lathe robotics turning/sculpting techniques that I pioneered. Rather than eliminating the usual cone, which in other pieces is either included or completely removed, I have revised the cone so that the tip now aims directly at the viewer as if "making a point." This piece is a statement of opposites: serious and jesting, combining ancient themes with modern approaches, and traditional techniques with the highest level of current technology. Perhaps there's an element of architecture there as well.
