2019 Statement
…Enlightenment for the Dark Ages
Remember that saying…”if you don’t like when you’re living, move to a different century”? So that’s what I did. Whenever I can morph time I’ve been maneuvering between the 5th-10th centuries AD. At home, on weekends and weeknights, even at work. Inspired by Vikings, The Last Kingdom, Valhalla Rising and Beowulf …I’ve kind of gone Native. Learning and trying to master techniques from the first millennia has been amazing. Techniques not used since the 7-9th century…This has been the best journey ever!
