THE HOOD IN THE WOOD
What if I were to give it all up, and live a life that is deeply and brutally atavistic - right here in Oxfordshire ? How would that affect my output as a sculptor ?
Nibble and taste her, swim in her, run over her, sleep upon her, gather from her. She is dying, yet still she gives.
I do not care that I cannot afford to pay for a roof over my head. Instead I use my straitened circumstances as an excuse to thrill to an existence that is world’s apart from the planet-busting consumerism that surrounds me.
So join me as, piece by piece I assemble a lifestyle which is making me faster and stronger on land and in the water, as well as inspiring my creative output.
The emphasis is very much upon the joys of a kit-free lifestyle and the re-wilding of the human mind and body : barefoot running, open water swimming, only sleeping outdoors, parkours, exploration of the countryside ; urban, suburban and countryside foraging and hunting, and of course sculpture - to name but a few.
Bring your flask, your bino’s and your tracker’s handbook and hunker down in the Ko-fi and YouTube hides to get a closer look at the feral sculptor’s peregrinations, joys and struggles.

Deep water swimming sculptor
Swimming outdoors has begun to inspire my sculpture now https://mcalistairhood.artweb.com/home/770241_skinny-dip.html And https://mcalistairhood.artweb.com/the-hood-in-the-wood/834499_sculpting-sculptor.html A quick cool off in the Thames, in the middle of a barefoot run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xaigdqnRS0&feature=youtu.be
