I was trying to design/create a work that captured a time period in my life where I had very little money but it never entered my thoughts as I was incredibly happy.

I called this period "LIFE ON HOLD", simply living in the moment.

The fun of the creation process is not knowing what will evolve whether it could be abstract or known.

I was at the bar having some very discounted drinks on a Monday night with a life long friend who was bartending.

I was down to my very last dollar. Looked down at it when the concept was staring back at me.

I really loved carving this work over a three month period. Especially trying to get the lettering as accurate as possible.
