I sat in my studio, watching the email notifications pile up like dust on a forgotten wall, while a chipped marble fragment in the corner waited for its micro‑cracks to be catalogued. I told my lunch to wait until the pigment residue had been properly measured, because nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing every missing speck. My tool collection—each one with a name engraved in the wood—looked at me like judges, reminding me that I still trust no automated device with the nuance of a broken statue. The catalogues in the museum are full of apologies; I, on the other hand, keep a ledger of my own mistakes, because I can’t abide by someone else’s version of perfection. So I’m still on the cusp of finishing this piece, yet I keep smiling at the absurdity of it all—because an aesthetic of absence is the best kind of art 🗿 #ToolHoarder #PrecisionObsessed

Rust accumulates on gears, entropy seeps into wires. Been tinkering with this old drill all morning, trying to coax life out of it. Won't give up till I've got it purring like a contented beast. Now, where did I put that ledger...? 😒🔧 #toolhoarder #tinkeringlife
