This is the story of an awakening, the story of a successful lawyer and winemaker in the Napa Valley who, upon the death of his mother, sets out in search of something more, some new course of meaning and inspiration for his life. He found it in working with metal.
In this book, Mendelson tells us that story through words and images, and page by page and sculpture by sculpture we can see his evolution as a creative artists and as a man. Thought these pages, Mendelson takes us deep inside his creative process. He shows us his growing love for art and self-expression, and he explains how, by mastering the difficult craft of bringing metal to life, he also learned how to break free of his own inner constraints and give joyous play to his heart, his imagination, and the fire of his spirit.
