Can You Spend 35 Years on an Artwork?

Thank author of this post/comment

Artists are naturally patient. Artworks take a very long time to finish, but artists do finish them because they are intelligent enough to understand that nothing good comes out of things that you hurry. You let art develop as you put piece by piece together. That's why not everyone can be an artist. Not all of us are as dedicated and as patient as the genuine ones.

Then there are those artworks that took so much time, other artists look like impatient brats when compared against them. For an ordinary person, concentrating on a project for a month is hard enough. What if you are told that you are going to continuously work on an art project not for a month, not for a year, not even for a decade, but for 35 long years?

Yes, folks, 35 years. Artist Scott Weaver spent 35 years (that's much longer than the time many of us have existed) working on a project composed of about 100,000 toothpicks. The guy collected that many toothpicks in order to create his masterpiece, the Rolling Through the Bay . What he used were no ordinary toothpicks. Each of the parts of his masterpiece are of different brands and origins. His friends, upon returning from vacation abroad, would always bring him toothpicks.

That allowed him to use different kinds of toothpicks for each component of his grand creation. The heart at the middle of his Palace of Fine Arts actually came from the ones thrown by his guests during his wedding.

Looking at this complex sculpture can be overwhelming. I've seen some of the craziest pieces of art, like stop-motion photography that took so many hours, street painting that seemed so real, and similar other pieces, but this one's just different. What's more amazing is that Weaver continues to expand and develop the artwork even during this very day. Now that is what you call patience and dedication.
