Artist note (Priddle): On a recent trip to Hawaii I had the pleasure of spending some time with John Mydock, a fabulous artist. We attended a week long collaborative event and then I visited Mydock Studio and residence. The biggest highlight of the visit was snorkeling in a lagoon with the most amazing corals and fish. John gave me this Milo Calabash to take home and finish. It was great having John's presence and energy in my workshop and texturing/clouoring it bought back great memories.
